Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) looks for a receiver against the Las Vegas Raiders in first half action at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sun Nov 26, 2023 (AP News)

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 Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 What has happened on the Pittsburgh Steelers after the Steelers have won four straight games they have dropped their last two games and frustrations are starting to heat up after last Sunday’s 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns were no different. The Steelers Dionte Johnson and Minkah Fitzpatrick nearly got into a fight in the dressing room after the game but teammates Cameron Heyward and TJ Watt broke it up. Head coach Mike Tomlin had a team meeting afterwards and emphasized that they had to work as a team and move on.

#2 Despite getting clobbered by the Miami Dolphins on Friday Night Football 34-13 the New York Jets are staying with starting quarterback Tim Boyle. The Jets starting quarterback Aaron Rogers is back fulltime with the team trying to recover from his Achilles tendon injury. Rogers is expected back in the coming weeks but for now Boyle is the starting quarterback for New York.

#3 It was also announced that Rogers would be under center for the Jets when the Jets come calling in Green Bay in the 2014 season. Rogers was the former longtime quarterback for the Packers. A Rogers return would be a moment that Green Bay fans would be anticipating on as well as the television networks.

#4 Charlie, when you watch Dolphins linebacker Jaelin Phillips come off the line to run a play against the Jets you could see the back of his right thigh pop and he fell to the ground and had to be carted off the field. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Phillips will be lost for the rest of the season. Running back Raheem Mostert said that the turf field at MetLife Field is trash and they need to get it replaced with real grass.

#5 The Raiders who are in a two game losing skid and took a tough loss against the Dolphins 20-13 in they’re last game are hoping to spring back but they got some bad defensive news as Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby is doubtful because of a knee injury. If Crosby is out of the line up it’s just one less defensive weapon the Raiders would have had to put pressure on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.

49ers offense feasts on Seahawks in 31-13 win on Thanksgiving night

Seahawk and touchdowns were served on Thanksgiving in the Pacific Northwest.

In front of a national audience, the San Francisco 49ers were in a festival mood after dominating the Seattle Seahawks in a 31-13 blowout win on Thanksgiving evening at Lumen Field.

San Francisco opened up a two-game lead on their NFC West division rival with its third win in a row. They jumped up to second in the NFC with the Detroit Lions loss to the Green Bay Packers earlier on in the day. Seattle’s hopes of winning the division were shot down with its second loss in a row and three out of its last four games.

It was a steady serving of Christian McCaffery for the 49ers. The all-pro running back rushed for 114 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns. McCaffery also had five catches for 25 yards.

San Francisco (8-3) scored on its opening drive. McCaffery had the big play with a run of 27 yards. Deebo Samuel finished off the nine play 75-yard drive with a two-yard end around rushing touchdown as Seattle won the coin toss but elected to receive the second half kickoff.

McCaffery scored his first touchdown early in the second quarter when he powered his way through for a one-yard touchdown. Then he scored his second touchdown with 5:11 remaining in the second quarter when he scampered in from eight yards out after breaking a couple of tackles to complete an eight play 58-yard drive to give the 49ers a 21-3 lead.

McCaffery has 11 rushing touchdowns on the season and is tied for the league lead with former 49ers running back Raheem Mostert. His 939 rushing yards currently leads the NFL.

“I think anytime you’re behind this offensive line you have to have a lot of trust and patience,” said McCaffery on his second rushing touchdown. “They did such a great job all day. The tight ends blocked well. Juice (Kyle Juszczyk) always blocks well. I mean these guys work so hard in the run game. So, you just got to trust it and stay on your landmarks. You never know when the hole can open (up)”.

San Francisco took advantage of a special team’s turnover late in the first half. DeeJay Dallas muffed a punt when he took his off the ball. The ball was recovered by Ronnie Bell at the Seattle 22-yard line. The 49ers converted the gift into three points with a Jake Moody 32-yard field goal for a comfortable 24-3 lead at halftime.

“We needed to start faster. We gotta play complimentary football that’s just how it is. You can’t spot them 24 points in the first half. At the end of the day, we gotta be better,” Seattle safety Quandre Diggs said.

Seattle (6-5) changed the momentum of them game to start the second half when Jordyn Brooks intercepted Brock Purdy and returned it 12-yards for a pick six.

After a three and out by the Seahawk defense, Geno Smith marched Seattle down the field on a 14 play 78-yard drive. However, the 49ers defense held its ground as the drive stalled out at their 23-yard line. The home team settled for a Jason Meyers 30-yard field goal.

San Francisco’s defense shutout Seattle in the fourth quarter as they front line put pressure on Smith and sacked him twice. They also made back-to-back short yardage stands when Seattle run the ball unsuccessfully on 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 as Seattle turned the ball over on downs late in the fourth quarter.

“The way the defense played tonight was unbelievable. They kept them out of the endzone the whole game and had six sacks. I thought the way our corners played on the outside was a real impressive game, really excited to watch it,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said.

Nick Bosa had two sacks and Javon Hargrave had 1.5 sacks as the front four dominated the trenches in the second half. Ambry Thomas chipped in with an interception and Charvarius Ward had an impressive game pass defending the deep ball against DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Purdy iced the game for San Francisco when he connected with Brandon Aiuyk for a 28-yard touchdown reception with 7:51 remaining in the game.

Purdy finished 21 of 30 for 209 yards to go with his one touchdown and interception. Samuel led all receivers with seven catches in 79 yards. Elijah Mitchell chipped in with 39 yards on seven carries.

It was a long night for Smith, who was dealing with an elbow injury he suffered this past Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, as he was 18 of 27 for 180 yards with one interception and was sacked a total of six times. Zach Charbonnet, who was the lead back in place of injured Kenneth Walker III, led the Seahawks in rushing with 47 yards on 14 carries. Jaxon Smith-Njigba chipped in with two catches for 41 yards.

Numerous 49er players enjoyed turkey on the field during the postgame interview on NBC. It has become tradition for the members of the winning team to celebrate a win with food.

GAME NOTES: San Francisco finished 5-for-11 on third down conversions. Seattle was 3-for-11.

UP NEXT: San Francisco take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday 12/3 at 1:25pm at Lincoln Financial Field.

Las Vegas Raiders Offense Falls Flat Losing to Miami Dolphins 20-13

By Barbara Mason

The Las Vegas Raiders (5-6) had opportunities all afternoon but could not cash in. They lost to the Miami Dolphins (7-3) 20-13 on Sunday in Miami. Forcing two fumbles plus one interception gave the Raiders a very real chance to win this game. Their offense just would not cooperate missing receivers, and demonstrating inability to move the ball.

Sunday afternoon the Raiders took on the Miami Dolphins and failed to extend their two game winning streak under interim head coach Antonio Pierce. This game was their toughest contest since Pierce took over as head coach.

The Dolphins have a deep offense that begins and ends with Superstar Tyreek Hill. Las Vegas has a defense that really made some noise and it all began with Maxx Crosby who has been very good. The Raiders held the mighty Dolphin offense to just six points in the second half.

Game recap: The Raiders got a huge break in the first quarter recovering a Miami fumble on the Dolphins 30 yard line giving Las Vegas a great scoring opportunity. The Raiders did come away with a field goal, a 34-yard kick from Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson but had given up precious points. They had an early 3-0 lead.

The dangerous Miami offense went to work scoring a touchdown and taking a 7-3 lead as the opening quarter began to run out. The score came as a result of a Dolphin quarterback Tua Tagovailoa pass to Hill for 38 yards. The Raiders answered back as the game clock ran out . With 0:01 on the clock Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell connected with Davante Adams for 46 yards and a 10-7 Raider lead.

At 2:28 in the second quarter the Dolphin offense struck again. This time Tagovailoa found Salvon Ahmed for 11 yards giving the lead back to the Dolphins. The Raiders would pull closer, once again with seconds left on the clock before the half.

Carlson would kick a 47 yard field goal. Miami would take a slim 14-13 lead into the locker room. Las Vegas had scored three times in the first half, two of them with seconds left in both the first and the second quarters. Unfortunately both of those late quarter scores resulted in field goals. The second Raider field goal came as a result of a second Miami fumble and again Las Vegas settled for a field goal. There were too many squandered points for the Raiders so far in this game.

The Raiders kept the Dolphins out of the end zone in the third quarter but Miami did score two field goals. Miami kicker Jason Sanders kicked the first, a 41 yard field goal at 5:26. The third quarter would come to an end with another Sanders kick, this one a 51 yard field goal.

This was his first 50 yard plus field goal of the season. He had missed one earlier in this game. The Dolphins now held a 20-13 lead but the Raiders had continued to keep this game a one score game.

Neither team scored in the fourth quarter. The final was 20-13 in favor of the Dolphins. Las Vegas had so many opportunities in this game. They left a boatload of points out on the field; their offense was sketchy for much of the game.

O’Connell had a tough day with only one touchdown and three interceptions. He threw for 271 yards and was 24 of 41. Josh Jacobs had only 39 rushing yards. O’Connell targeted a wide open Adams several times but both were overthrown.

Las Vegas had their chances in this game forcing two Miami fumbles and one interception. They kept the Dolphins out of the end zone for the entire second half. This was a winnable game for Las Vegas that evaded them.

The Raiders have a tough game in front of them next Sunday taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. They had a rare chance to beat an excellent team today but did not take advantage of it. They will be home in Las Vegas for this next game. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:25 PM.

Purdy is perfect as 49ers dominate Bucs in 27-14 convincing win

by Marko Ukalovic

It’s been 34 years since a San Francisco 49ers quarterback has had a perfect QB rating.

Brock Purdy matched a couple of quarterback legends in a 27-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon at Levi’s Stadium.

San Francisco has won two games in a row after dropping its past three and are in sole position of first place in the NFC West after the Los Angeles Rams upset victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Tampa Bay has lost five of its last six games.

Purdy recorded a QB rating of 158.3 for the first time in his NFL career. A feat that hasn’t been done in San Francisco since both Joe Montana and Steve Young did it during the 1989 season.

San Francisco scored on its second possession when Purdy led the team on a 12 play 80-yard drive against Tampa Bay’s defense that forced a punt on the 49ers first possession. Purdy connected with running back Christian McCaffery on a four-yard touchdown reception.

“I kind of hope the critics keep coming cause it pisses him off,” said McCaffery on Purdy’s detractors. “He plays really well.”

After a Jake Moody 37-yard field goal, the Buccaneers marched down the field on a 10 play 75-yard drive for it first touchdown. Baker Mayfield threw a one-yard touchdown reception to Mike Evans who tight-roped the back of the endzone.

The 49ers received a 28-yard field goal from Moody with :16 left in the second quarter to close out the first half on a positive note.

Purdy and the offense opened up the game on its first possession of the second half as they went 98 yards in just three plays for its next touchdown. Purdy threw a deep pass to the left to Brandon Aiyuk who raced into the endzone for a 76-yard touchdown reception.

The 76-yard touchdown reception is the longest in the NFL this season. Purdy has the two longest touchdown receptions in the league this season. Last week’s 66-yarder to Geroge Kittle was the longest till Aiyuk’s catch.

The 49ers offense kept the pedal to the metal when Purdy threw for his third touchdown of the game when he found Kittle in the back of the endzone all alone for a three-yard touchdown reception with 1:42 left in the third quarter for a 20-point lead.

Rachaad White rushed for a one-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter to give Tampa Bay hope, but San Francisco’s defense shut down Mayfield and company the rest of game with two turnovers on downs and one interception.

Ji’Ayir Brown intercepted Mayfield in the endzone with 3:38 remaining in the game to seal the deal for San Francisco. It was the first interception in the red zone by Mayfield in four years.

Fred Warner, who celebrated his 27th birthday, was the defensive player of the game with 12 total tackles, a forced fumble and half a sack. Nick Bosa led the 49ers in quarterback hits with three. Chase Young had a sack in back-to-back games since being acquired at the trade deadline by San Francisco.

Purdy finished his career day going 21 of 25 for 333 yards with no interceptions or sacks to go along with his three touchdowns and perfect QB rating. Aiyuk led all receivers with five catches for 156 yards. Kittle, overshadowed by Aiyuk, had eight catches for 89 yards. Deebo Samuel chipped in with three catches, including a 40-yarder, for 63 yards.

“Brock (Purdy) is solid, a really good quarterback, anything he can do. I don’t know if he can run a 4.3 (40-yard dash), do a lot of Wildcat stuff. But everything we’ve asked him to do, he’s done at a really high level,” 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said.

McCaffery, who started a new touchdown game streak, led all rushers with 78 yards on 21 carries. He also tallied five catches for 25 yards for another game with 100 plus all-purpose yards.

Mayfield was 29 of 45 for 246 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He was sacked four times. White led the Bucs in rushing with 30 yards on nine carries. Cade Otton led Tampa Bay in receiving with four catches for 49 yards. Evans chipped in five catches for 43 yards.

GAME NOTES: San Francisco finished 4-for-10 on third down conversions. Tampa Bay went 7-for-14.

49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga suffered a knee injury during the game and did not return.

UP NEXT: San Francisco travels to the Pacific Northwest for a Thanksgiving (11/23) showdown with the Seattle Seahawks at 5:20pm at Lumen Field.

#1 Joe, the bye week does many wonders after the 49ers had lost three straight games after winning five straight. They pounded the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday by a 34-3 victory.

#2 The 49ers defense were certainly locked on giving up just a field goal and

#3 The 49ers ran away with it by the third quarter scoring two touchdowns and were way ahead of the Jaguars 27-3. With Fred Warner and Talanoa Hufanga each had an interception for San Francisco and those kind of turnovers could make a big difference in a game like this.

#4 Brock Purdy contributed huge with three touchdowns, going 19-26 for 296 yards and kept the 49ers well ahead of the Jaguars.

#5 Next up for San Francisco the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs (4-5) the Bucs have lost their last four out of five games. The Bucs won their last game beating the Tennessee Titans 20-6. Talk about how you see this match up this Sunday at Levi Stadium.
