Raiders snap 16-game skid
Print Edition
AFTER 368 days and 16 straight losses, the Oakland Raiders finally celebrated a win when they beat the Kansas City Chiefs 24-20 in the National Football League on Thursday.
“Hopefully, there’s many more to come because I like this feeling better than the other one, that’s for sure,” Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr said.
Latavius Murray ran for two touchdowns and 112 yards on just four carries before leaving with a concussion. The Raiders built a 14-point lead, but needed a 17-play, 80-yard drive led by Carr to secure its first win since beating Houston on November 17, 2013.
Carr threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to James Jones with 1:42 remaining.
“We’ve been in this end of the pool a long time,” interim coach Tony Sparano said. “I kept saying that eventually it’s going to happen. Today, they just refused to give up.”
Alex Smith threw two TD passes for the Chiefs, who had won five in a row. They fell a half-game behind Denver in the AFC West. The Chiefs will have a long time to stew over this loss before hosting Denver on November 30.
It took that impressive drive by the rookie Carr to win it. He twice had to sneak for first downs. He also threw an 8-yard pass to Mychal Rivera on third-and-6 and capitalized on a pass interference penalty against Ron Parker on another third down before finding Jones for the go-ahead score.
“To go 17 plays on the winning drive, that’s impressive, man,” Raiders defensive end Justin Tuck said. “That lets you know a little bit of the moxie of No. 4 (Carr).”
The game wasn’t sealed until Smith threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-13 from his 48. Even that didn’t come without a tense moment. Khalil Mack and Sio Moore sacked Smith on third down and celebrated in the backfield while the Chiefs ran up to the line. An angry Tuck had to call time-out as he seethed at his younger teammates.
