Three and Out is a weekly series that will examine three areas where the Oakland Raiders played well, and three areas where they didn’t.

Well, that was rough. After putting together a three game winning streak to get to 4-1 and a tie for not only first place in the AFC West, but also the conference, the Oakland Raiders came crashing back to earth in Week 6.

A 26-10 loss to Kansas City Chiefs was ugly for all but the opening three or so minutes to the game — Oakland’s lone touchdown drive. Simply put, the Raiders were outplayed in all three phases — offense, defense, special teams — as well as out-coached.
