The Las Vegas Raiders (5-7) had it all going on through the opening quarter Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs (8-3). They hung onto a 14 point lead through the second quarter of football. The Chiefs got their offense going at 6:38 in the second tying up the game at 14 going into half time. They never looked back beating the Raiders 31-17

Sunday afternoon the Raiders took on the Chiefs in Kansas City. The Raiders came into this game after losing last week to the Miami Dolphins in a close game 20-13. This was a one point game going into the fourth quarter. The Dolphins hit two field goals in the fourth quarter which sealed the game. The Chiefs also lost last week against the Philadelphia Eagles 21-17.

Game recap: The first quarter of this game was all Raiders. Las Vegas had the only score in the opening quarter of this game. Aiden O’Connell found Jakobi Meyers at 9:32 for 18 yards and the touchdown giving the Raiders the early 7-0 lead.

The Raiders extended their lead in the second quarter with a second touchdown at 12:41, this one on the ground. Running back Josh Jacobs rushed for 63 yards for the 14-0 lead. Las Vegas had scored 14 unanswered points.

Mid-way through the second quarter there was a real energy reversal. The sleeping giant began to flex it’s muscle. At 6:38 Isiah Pacheco rushed for one yard and the Chiefs first touchdown of the game.

Kansas City scored a second touchdown just seconds before the half to tie up the game at 14. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes found Justin Watson for 3 yards and it was now the Chiefs scoring 14 unanswered points.

The Chiefs scored both of those touchdowns with ease which was troublesome for the Raiders. This offense is lethal when it gets going and the second half of the second quarter was proof of that. The Raiders would have a lot of work to do in the second half. The Kansas City offense had come to life and stopping them would be no small feat.

Kansas City got the ball to start the second half. They scored at 9:15 taking their first lead of the game 21-14. Isiah Pacheco scored his second rushing touchdown of the game, another one yard rush. With a little over two minutes left in the quarter, the Raiders Daniel Carlson kicked a 34 Yd Field Goal. They still had the Chiefs in their sites trailing 21-17 going into the fourth quarter but they had to find a way to stop the offensive surge the Chiefs were bringing.

Kansas City wasted no time as the fourth quarter got underway. At 13:40 they scored their fourth touchdown of the day extending their lead to 28-17. This time Mahomes found Rashee Rice for 39 yards.

The Raiders were helpless trying to stop this power house offense. Las Vegas desperately needed points but they also needed stops which were non-existent since the start of the second half.

With 9:34 left in the game there was still plenty of time but Las Vegas had to tighten up offensively and defensively. They were making things far too easy for the Chiefs. They had to get the Chiefs off the field and they did just that putting some great pressure on Kansas City to get the ball back with 7:29 left in the game. It was crunch time for Las Vegas.

Las Vegas attempted a fourth and one on their own 20 yard line in the fourth quarter and failed, a huge stop for Kansas City. The Chiefs now had the ball on the Las Vegas 20 yard line hungry for another score.

They did not get the touchdown due to numerous penalties but settled for a Harrison Butker 32 yard field goal. The Chiefs now had a 31-17 lead and with 2:30 left on the clock time was running out for the Raiders. Kansas City was on their way to their eighth win of the season and the Raiders season record dropped to 5-7.

The Raiders did not get penalized the entire game nor did they have any turnovers. Las Vegas had more rushing yards than the Chiefs but could not handle the red hot offense of Kansas City particularly their passing game. Aidan O’Connell threw for 248 yards and one touchdown and no interceptions. The Raiders had 123 rushing yards with 110 yards credited to Jacobs.

Next up for Las Vegas will be the Minnesota Vikings on December 10th after their bye week. They will take on the Vikings at Allegiant Stadium with kickoff scheduled for 1:05 PM.

On Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 From the sound of it Tony the Raiders are on the hunt for a quarterback for next season. Indications were after Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce played it safe in the first half against Miami there was talk that the Raiders are not quite settled on quarterback Aidan O’Connell.

#2 Pierce said there are six games left and he’ll have time to evaluate the quarterback situation. The Raiders lost last Sunday in Miami to the Dolphins 20-13.

#3 Tony, is it too soon to judge O’Connell he had that loss against the Dolphins last Sunday but was able to scratch both New York Giants and Jets off the Calendar with two straight wins.

#4 Tony, the Raiders towards the end of the first half recovered a Miami fumble at the Dolphin 32 with 58 second left. The Raiders didn’t elect to pass they kept the ball on the ground with handoffs to Josh Jacobs who got only three yards taking 42 second off the clock. O’Connell threw for two short incomplete passes and got a field goal from kicker Daniel Carlson.

#5 It doesn’t get any easier as the Raiders they take on the Kansas City Chiefs (7-3). The Chiefs lost their last game defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 21-17 last night on Monday Night Football. The Chiefs have lost two of their last three games two questions how do you see this match this Sunday at Allegiant and second will the Swifties and Taylor Swift help as the 11th man or woman as it were?

Patrick Mahomes aggravated an ankle injury in the first half, but it didn’t deter him from leading a second-half comeback for Kansas City in the Chiefs’ last-minute 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, played Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

Harrison Butker’s 27-yard field goal with 11 seconds to play gave the Chiefs their third Super Bowl title; they won previously in 1970 and 2019. Kansas City suffered Super Bowl losses in 1967 and 2020. Philadelphia won the big game in 2018 with other losses in 2005 and 1981.

Mahomes was selected as the game’s most valuable player. He completed 21 of 27 passes for 182 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions without a sack, and ran six times for 44 yards. Isiah Pacheco gained 76 rushing yards on 15 carries. Juju Smith-Schuster caught seven passes for 53 yards, and Travis Kelce snared six passes for 81 yards and a touchdown.

Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 304 yards, completing 27 of 38 passes. Hurts was also the Eagles’ leading rusher, gaining 70 yards on 15 attempts, DeVonta Smith caught seven passes for 100 yards, and A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert each caught six passes.

After two quarters, it was beginning to look like a rout for the NFC champion Eagles, who built a 10-point halftime lead. Hurts’ 1-yard TD run at 10:13 of the first quarter put Philadelphia up 7-0. Three minutes later, Mahomes found Travis Kelce for an 18-yard score, tying the game at 7-7.

On the first play of the second quarter, Hurts completed a 45-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown to regain the lead. But the Chiefs caught a break at 9:48 of the second quarter, when Kansas City linebacker Nick Bolton scooped up a Hurts fumble and returned it 36 yards for a game-tying score.

Hurts ran in for his second rushing touchdown with 2:24 left in the first half, and Jake Elliott booted a 35-yard field goal as time ran out in the second quarter, giving Philadelphia a 24-14 lead at the break.

A 1-yard run by Isiah Pacheco capped a 10-play, 75-yard drive to start the third quarter, pulling the Chiefs to within 24-21. Elliott kicked a 33-yard field goal with 1:48 to play, extending the Eagles’ lead to 27-21.

Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Mahomes completed a 5-yard TD pass to Kadarius Toney, giving the Chiefs their first lead of the game at 28-27. Moments later, Toney returned a punt 65 yards to the Philadelphia 5-yard line, setting up a 4-yard TD pass from Mahomes to Skyy Moore. Kansas City led 35-27 with 9:26 remaining.

Hurts ran two yards up the middle for his third rushing TD, then ran in the 2-point conversion attempt, tying the game at 35-35 at 5:20 of the fourth quarter.

Kansas City chewed up most of the remaining time with a 66-yard drive, capped by Butker’s game-winning field goal. Philadelphia had one final possession, but a Hurts threw an incomplete pass upfield as time expired,

The winners share for the Chiefs is $157,000, while each member of the Eagles will receive $82,000. Attendance was 67,827. Rhianna provided the halftime entertainment.

#1 Joe, Super Bowl LVII is as good as it gets cliff hanger that saw the Kansas City Chiefs (17-3) come away with their second Super Bowl win under head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Pat Mahomes 38-35 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Close game how surprised or maybe not surprised were you?

#2 This was a game where the Philadelphia Eagles (16-4) had the first half in hand 24-14 were their signs that maybe the Eagles have a shot to come away with this game or the first was just too early to make that determination.

#3 Mahomes just found himself in the second quarter when the Chiefs had to come back scoring a third quarter touchdown and an explosive fourth quarter out scoring the Eagles 17-8.

#4 Joe, getting this win for Mahomes not only huge his second Super Bowl ring but not only that he did it with that high ankle sprain and you almost didn’t notice it.

Superbowl = Super-business

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

The Superbowl has become as American as The Fourth of July and Thanksgiving Day all rolled into one. It shows commercialism and consumerism mixed with patriotism and the whole culture of a sport named Football, which is best played in the NFL, one of the best sports leagues in the whole world. It is a staple of America is as a culture. Capitalism at its best.

Whole families gathered around the television with all kinds of snacks, goodies, drinks. This Sunday the 12th of February 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona Superbowl LVII will take place, between the NFC Champions Philadelphia Eagles and the AFC Champions Kansas City Chiefs, at State Farm, Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the home stadium of the Arizona Cardinals.

FOX Network kick-off time is 6:30 ET. The Phoenix area which suffered great business hardships during the last few Covid years is ready to welcome this great event, which it would be a springboard to 15 MLB baseball teams who are slated to open their respective Spring Training camps in less than two weeks. The Valley of the Sun is ready for a business bonanza, first the Super Bowl, then baseball Spring Training.

  • The average cost for a Superbowl commercial on FOX Network is around $7 Million.
  • The audience is estimated to be, at least 200 million people in the United States. That is nine times more than the 23 million who watched the State of the Union address this Tuesday.
  • Over 230 countries will also televise this Superbowl, in just about every conceivable language with huge audiences expected as well.
  • Advertisers: From Beer, Food, Insurance, Automobile, and other popular brands plus always the surprises. During the past 20 years, commercials on the Superbowl have become as popular as and even more memorable than the game itself. One of those surprises this Sunday is one on the “Late Night King of TV”, Greg Gutfeld, and his show Gutfeld, on the FOX network. Gutfeld is a graduate of Serra High School in San Mateo, same as Tom Brady and Barry Bonds, Gutfeld show is clocking the highest ratings beating such Late Night network shows as those of Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert.

If the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs they would tie the Philadelphia A’s for the most titles in the City of Brotherly Love. It would be the Eagles fifth title, after NFL crowns in 1948, 1949, and 1960 and a Super Bowl victory in 2018 that would match the Philadelphia Athletics for the history of that sports-crazed city.

Businesses large, medium, and small gear themselves for every Super Bowl, all across the US, Hawaii and Puerto Rico for this event. There is nothing in American sports that is close to the NFL Super Bowl every year.

Get your chicken wings ready, I’m coming to your Super Bowl party! Eagles by 3!

#2 Former Tom Brady wife Gisele Bundchen wishes her ex-husband nothing but good luck in his retirement from professional football after 23 years in the game.
