KANSAS CITY—If there was ever a game that embodied the phrase ‘burn the tape,’ this was it for the Las Vegas Raiders.
On Sunday, the Raiders ran headfirst into a buzzsaw, suffering a blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs 31-0 at GEHA Stadium at Arrowhead.
This was not the way the Raiders wanted to head into the bye week. Now, they can only hope to get back to full health while the team assesses what has gone wrong in this first half of the season. This is on top of the rest of the NFL circling the Raiders like vultures, wondering if they can extract anything of value from a team that appears to have fallen out of the playoff hunt.
