Kurtenbach: Don’t write off the Raiders after their lopsided loss to the Chiefs

OAKLAND — Remember all that Raiders’ momentum coming out of last Monday’s win over the Broncos?

Well, forget all about it.

That win over Denver wasn’t a mirage or a fluke, but neither was Week 2’s 28-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Kansas City showed the Raiders the difference between good and great, Sunday, smacking the Raiders around and exerting their dominance in all three phases.

The Raiders had no answer to the Chiefs’ preposterously talented quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and his never-ending stockpile of speedy receivers. The Raiders’ offense couldn’t get out of its own way and capitalize against Kansas City’s all-or-nothing defense, either — Kansas City ended up getting everything it wanted more than enough times to win.
