The Raiders held the Chiefs scoreless in the first quarter. But the moment they went to the second quarter, everything changed. We’re talking the first play of the second quarter, it was bombs away, Mahomes finding his receiver for a 44-yard touchdown.
On the play, Lamarcus Joyner was spying the motion man, staying short and thinking he had help deep. He did not and DeMarcus Robinson got wide open for the score.
The next possession, the Chiefs again drove into Oakland territory, but were in third and 20. Usually a death sentence for your drive, but not only was it not a death sentence, it was another touchdown on a bomb.
