It only takes glancing at one number on the stat sheet—the Oakland Raiders’ net yardage at 505—to realize that the defense was an obvious problem in the Chiefs’ 31-30 loss Thursday night.
Derek Carr with more than 400 passing yards. Amari Cooper with more than 200 receiving yards. Tight end Jared Cook, who had no more than 56 yards in any game this year prior to Thursday night, he went for 107.
