The Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has taken a beating this year with multiple concussions but will not sit out.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) once again get pummeled this time by the Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati 41-24. In the first half Tony the Raiders did have a close half coming out of it trailing 17-10 and it looked like the Raiders were going to stay in step with the Bengals.

#2 Raider starting quarter back Gardner Minshew was 10-17, 124 yards, did not throw or carry for a touchdown and didn’t throw an interception. Minshew and the Raiders just couldn’t much going on scoring in the third and fourth quarters.

#3 The Raiders couldn’t shut down the Bengals scoring in the second half as the Bengals in third quarter scored 14 points and ten points in the fourth quarter to run away with the game.

#4 Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow got good protection and was mobile against the Raiders pass rush finishing with a line of 27-39, 251 yards, had all day to throw with five touchdowns and was intercepted once.

#5 The Raiders hope to end their current five game loss streak as they head to Miami and Hard Rock Stadium for a 10:00am PST kickoff with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have struggled of late as well with three loses in a row and they lost Sunday 30-27 to the Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins drop their record to 2-6. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a 25-28 afternoon throwing for 231 yards and two touchdowns. Any chance the Raiders can snap out of this funk against the Dolphins next Sunday?

#3 The Chiefs broke it open in the fourth quarter when the kicker Hunter Bulker booted a 24 yarder with 8:44 left to make it 20-13 so the Raiders now trailed by a touchdown.

#4 The Chiefs later would put the game out of reach with 4:59 left in the game when quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a nine yard pass to wide out Xavier Worthy for a touchdown making it 27-13. The Raiders would add another seven points when quarterback Gardner Minshew threw an 11 pass to wide out DJ Turner to make it 27-20. It was not enough at 2:03. The Raiders lose their fourth straight game.

#5 The Raiders head to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. The Bengals have won two out of their last three games. The Bengals lost their seventh game Sunday (3-5) to the Philadelphia Eagles 37-17.

Raiders Drop Fourth Straight Game, as Champion Chiefs Violated them 27-20, in Sin City

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The Las Vegas Raiders (2-6) lost their fourth consecutive game of the season to the back-to-back Super Bowl champion and STILL undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (7-0), 27-20, on a Sunday afternoon in the Desert.

The Raiders won the coin toss, but decided to defer to the second half, and give the first opportunity to the well decorated Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs offense. They regretted that immediately, as Kansas City obliged the gift and went directly downfield and scored the games first points.

Chiefs’ running back Kareem Hunt burst through the line for a one yard TD run, putting his team up 7-0. It seemed to be the beginning of a blowout; however, the home team had an answer for that rhetorical question. The Raiders were intent this evening to score on their first drive.

Late in the first quarter, Raiders’ QB Gardner Minshew tossed a seven yard touchdown pass to WR Jakobi Myers. That quickly, the game was tied at seven. It was also the tally at the end of the quarter. The Raiders demonstrated that they wanted more in the second.

Kicker Daniel Carlson pet his team up by three after he booted a 51-yard field goal. The Raiders were up 10-7, and scored on their first two possessions. Momentum was on Las Vegas’ side early in the second quarter, but Kansas City had the nuclear weapon on the other sideline.

Just under the two-minute warning of the half, Patrick Mahomes went into his bag and pulled off another scoring drive. He hooked up with his favorite target, Travis Kelce for a five yard touchdown pass. Seconds before recess, Harrison Butker Converted a 42-yard field goal, which put KC up by seven, 17-10.

Mahomes threw for nearly 200 yards in the first half, and a touchdown, while Minshew also had a TD and just over 100 yards passing. The Raiders were down seven, but going to receive the ball to start the second half.

Although they did not score on their first possession of the third quarter, they were the first team to put points on the scoreboard. Carlson kicked a 32-yards to bring the Raiders within four, 17-13. The Raiders had a chance to take over the score and game during the 3/4 mark of the contest; however, that did not come to fruition.

Mahomes was backed up against his own goal line, and committed a very uncharacteristic turnover, putting his team in potential peril, and the Raiders in a very advantageous situation. The Chiefs’ defense came to the rescue for their noble leader, and completely stifled the Raiders’ offense and lessened their chances to win. Las Vegas took a sack on forth and Goal, turning the ball back over to the visitors, while letting Mahomes off the hook for his egregious interception.

With that reprieve, Kansas City scored early in the fourth quarter, on another Butker field goal (24), putting them farther in the lead by seven, 20-13. After a Gardner Minshew fumble/turnover midway through the final quarter, the Chiefs capitalized on their miscue three minutes later. Mahomes connected with WR Xavier Worthy for a nine yard TD pass, KC went up by two touchdowns, 27-13.

Before the Chiefs could get comfortable with the double-digit lead, the Raiders managed to score right before the two-minute warning. Minshew hit WR Tre Tucker in the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown. Back within seven, 27-20, all the Raiders could do was try to perform an on-side kick. They did try, but luck was not on their side. The Chiefs took the obligatory “knee” and the clock clicked down to 0:00. After 60 minutes of play, KC was victorious 27-20 over LV.

Kansa City remains the only unbeaten (7-0) team after the somewhat impressive win in Nevada. The Chiefs could win a threepeat and go undefeated in the same season. However, it may not be that likely, especially barely winning against a team in the midst of a losing streak.

The Raiders are next in action Sunday, November 3 in Ohio, as they will face the Cincinnati Bengals at 1pm EST/10am PST. The Chiefs fly back to Missouri and host Tampa Bay on Monday Night Football, November 4 at 7:15pm CST on ABC/ESPN.

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 In the past three weeks the Raiders have turned the ball over ten times, had 25 penalties that costed them 201 yards.

#2 Two of the penalties were two digit penalties and they called on infractions that officials ended up spotting the ball a good ten or more yards against them.

#3 The Raiders are now averaging three turnovers a game. Is this a matter of pressing, not being focused, or just plain getting hit hard by the opposition whose forcing fumbles?

#4 Las Vegas head coach Antonio Pierce said “We’ve got to stop beating ourselves with turnovers, with penalties,” Pierce said Monday. “When opportunities are there, we have to make them. We’re not doing that right now.”

#5 The Raiders face a 6-0 Kansas City Chiefs team who are on a hot roll. Will this be a game where the Chiefs will simply be unstoppable and have their way with the Raiders or will it be a game of the Raiders will regroup and just might be able to keep in step with the Chiefs?

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez: Raiders just couldn’t come up with any offense in second half in loss to Rams in LA 20-15; O’Connell out with thumb fracture

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich:

Antonio Pierce the Las Vegas Raiders head coach whose been getting a lot of criticism after the recent loses and the loss in Los Angeles Sunday against the Rams didn’t soothe matters much for coach Pierce. There was too much sputtering there were too many mistakes and the Raiders just couldn’t score a touchdown.

Aidan O’Connell who got injured early and left with a broken thumb saw back up Gardner Minshew come in and take over. For Minshew he threw 15-34 for 154 yards and was intercepted three times. The Raiders who trailed the Rams 14-6 going into the second half had a chance to take advantage but Minshew and the offense couldn’t create any scoring opportunities despite the Raiders defense holding the Rams to only six points in the second half.
