Las Vegas Raiders podcast Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony another rough one for the Las Vegas Raiders (2-8) on their homefield losing to the visiting Dallas Cowboys (4-5-1) on Monday Night Football. It was a real “Turn out the lights the party is over” as the Raiders were clobbered 33-16 at Allegiant Stadium.

#2 Raiders quarterback Geno Smith tried to get some passing yards going but Dallas just broke through the Las Vegas offensive line and scored a whopping 21 points in the second quarter.

#3 For Smith 27-42, 238 yards, one touchdown and one interception. No doubt on trying to get anything going it was a frustrating evening for Smith in another loss chalked up by the Raiders.

#4 The Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott pretty much had command and got some time to throw the football going 25-33, 268 yards, and four touchdowns.

#5 Raiders try to pick up the pieces and go at it again next Sun Nov 23 against the Cleveland Browns (2-8) who are having their own problems having lost their last three games in a row. How do you see this match up this coming Sunday at Allegiant with Cleveland?

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:

#1 Rich how important is this bye week after the Raiders have lost five straight games.

#2 In the losing streak the Raiders played some tough customers one amongst them the Kansas City Chiefs back on Sun Oct 27th. The Chiefs actually pulled out a 27-20 win when they heard the Raiders footsteps and came away with a fourth quarter rally to hold on and win the game.

#3 There was the previous home game that the Raiders were crushed by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sun Oct 13 at Allegiant Stadium 32-13. Steelers quarterback Justin Fields was 14-24 for 145 yards. Fields didn’t throw or rush for a touchdown but the Steelers certainly got a lot of offense in that game.

#4 Speaking of offense in the Raiders last game Sun Nov 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati the Bengals put up some big numbers with quarterback Joe Burrow under center throwing 27-39 for 251 yards and here’s where it hurt the Raiders five touchdowns by Burrow either by passing or rushing in the 41-24 win.

#5 The Raiders get right back to work in Miami next Sunday Nov 17th with a 10:00AM PST kickoff. The Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has taken a beating this year with multiple concussions but will not sit out. In the Dolphins last game against the Buffalo Bills Tua threw 25-28, 231 yards and two touchdowns. The Dolphins came up short in that one 30-27. How do you see this match up between the Dolphins and Raiders this Sunday here in Miami Sunday ?

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.

Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O: Universities boycott SJSU’s Volleyball games with transgender on Spartans roster; Cal gets some love on Game Day from ESPN; plus more news

San Jose State Spartans outside right side hitter Blaire Fleming (3) has been the focus of being a transgender playing on a women’s volleyball team. Three universities have boycotted against playing SJSU and did not disclose the reasons why. (SJSU photo)

On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 San Jose State Spartans volleyball has been in the spotlight over transgender outside right side hitter Blaire Fleming. Three universities have boycotted playing SJSU, Southern Utah, Boise State, Wyoming. The three universities did not disclose a reason for boycotting the games against SJSU. Fleming teammate Brooke Slusser has joined a lawsuit against the NCAA regarding safety issues after finding out that Fleming was transgender. How much of a conundrum is this going to cause the NCAA with teams boycotting and players filing lawsuits.

#2 Charlie, it was a special day for Cal football on Saturday as they hosted the Miami Hurricane. It was the first time in the school’s history that they host ESPN Game Day. The event went down as a big deal as Cal made the national scene. Cal had gone 3-1 previous to their game with Miami and got some love from the World Wide Sports Leader.

#3 Vice President Kamala Harris on her podcast “All is Smoke” expressed sadness about Oakland losing all it’s professional sports teams which included Golden State Warriors, Oakland Raiders and Oakland A’s. Harris was joined by former Warriors Harrison Barnes and Stephen Jackson on the podcast. Harris said “it breaks my heart.” The vice president said she feels sadness each time she passes the Oakland Coliseum when she flies in and out of Oakland Airport.

#4 It was mentioned on a local talk show that it’s 98% certain that the A’s will end up at Sutter Health Field but it’s the uncertain 2% that you have to look out for. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that A’s president David Forst said “I don’t think we have a 100% certainty.” even though renovations have been made in the dugouts the artificial turf has not been installed at all. The players of other teams behind the scenes have told their agents they do not want to play on artificial turf and using a minor league park would not be practical for big league players. According to A’s manager Mark Kotsay, “no decision (to go) from grass to turf has been made.” Charlie you were there on the last game in Oakland I know you said it’s a done deal in Sacramento but there is doubt about Sutter Health and the players really are leaning on finishing up at the Coliseum before moving to Vegas.

#5 The Arizona Cardinals (1-3) kick off against the San Francisco 49ers (2-2) at Levi Stadium. The Cardinals are a struggling bunch they had their heads handed to them by the Washington Commanders last week. Cardinal quarterback Kyler Murray was 16-22 for 142 yards, and one touchdown. The 49ers after losing two straight games defeated the New England Patriots last Sunday 30-13 and ran up the score on the Pats. Will the 49ers make easy work of the Cardinal today?

#6 The Las Vegas Raiders just got by the Cleveland Browns last week 20-16. After holding a 20-10 win the Raiders in the fourth quarter couldn’t get any offense going and the Browns returned a fumble for a touchdown but it wasn’t enough as Las Vegas came away with a four point win at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O: Browns on their fourth quarterback Flacco to start against Rams; Is 49ers-Eagles match up of the season?; plus more news

On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 How frustrating does it have to get for the Cleveland Browns in terms of having the revolving door of quarterbacks. The Browns are now on their fourth quarterback with 38 year old Joe Flacco getting the start after quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson suffered a concussion last week. Robinson was ruled out on Friday. The Browns lost quarterbacks DeShaun Watson who is out with a shoulder injury and PJ Walker who started two games this season and will serve as Flacco’s back up Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.

#2 Charlie, to the big game of the season the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles. How much is this game unfinished business for the 49ers and how badly does quarterback Brock Purdy want to get in win it and come out it in one piece?

#3 The Eagles have been leaning on their defense with linebackers stopping any quarterback keepers or opposing running backs. Will this be a factor for running back Christian McCaffrey whose had nothing but success in finding holes and getting yards.

#4 The Las Vegas Raiders badly want to get back in the win column after losing their last two games to the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs badly did some damage to Raiders defense last Sunday at Allegiant Stadium with a 14 point second quarter and a ten point fourth quarter for a 31-17 win. Simply put the defense just couldn’t stop quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid’s game plan down.

#5 The Raiders have a bye this Sunday and host the Minnesota Vikings Sun Dec 10th at Allegiant. Vikings lost to the Chicago Bears last Sunday in a squeaker 12-10 at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The Vikings have gone without their starter Kirk Cousins and have started Joshua Dobbs who went 22-32 for 185 yards one touchdown and what hurt Dobbs the most he was picked off four times. How do you see the Raiders and Vikings next Sunday in Vegas?

#2 Raider head coach Rich Bisaccia said that Jackson can run and that he was a big part of the Los Angeles Rams offense and could be expected to contribute big for the Raiders.

#3 Rich, we wanted to ask you about the 23-16 loss in New Jersey last Sunday to the New York Giants (3-6) did the recent troubles of Henry Ruggs and Damon Arnette play a role in the loss last week?

#4 Rich, just wanted to get your take on the Raiders Max Crosby being considered for defensive end of the year. Crosby does not lead the NFL in sacks but has been called one of the more consistent pass rushers in the league.

#5 Raiders host the Kansas City Chiefs (5-4) for Sunday Night Football the Chiefs have won four of their last six games they are a game just above .500 that said they have won their last two games and beat the Green Bay Packers (7-2) last Sunday 13-7.
