ALAMEDA – The Raiders missed several golden opportunities to even the score against Kansas City on Thursday night. That gave the Chiefs a 21-13 victory and a season sweep that gave them pole position the AFC West race.
One stands out more than others. The Raiders’ penultimate drive was stalled after Derek Carr couldn’t connect with a wide-open Amari Cooper on a deep pass that, if caught, likely would’ve resulted in a touchdown.
Carr’s pass changed direction upon descent and ended up incomplete, leaving some fans to wonder if the ball hit a cable supporting a camera rigged to provide aerial shots.
