Highlights: Zamir White's best plays from Week 16 win vs. Chiefs
Raiders went into Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day and silenced the critics and crowd with a convincing win over the Chiefs. It wasn’t pretty like the 63-21 thrashing of the Chargers the previous game. But it had some defensive hints of that historic beatdown, with fumble recoveries and interceptions for touchdowns. And now Kansas City, along with the rest of the league, knows the Raiders defense is no one trick pony show.
On Christmas Day, Raiders defense scored 14 points in seven seconds, giving the Raiders a 17-7 lead at halftime. They then proceeded in the second half to stop the Chiefs offense, limiting Mahomes, Kelce, and crew to a lone touchdown. Also, twice they stopped the Chiefs on fourth-down, forcing turn-over on downs.
Sure, the Raiders offense didn’t get into the endzone all day, but they managed to put together drives, convert on 3rd downs, and keep Mahomes on the sideline when it mattered most. No Patty Mahomes last second heroics on this Christmas Day. The game would end with a few Raiders quarterback kneeldowns to run out the clock.
Night-Night Chiefs fans, and have a miserable Merry Christmas; signed Da Raiders Grinch!
