The Las Vegas Raiders were humiliated by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14, here are the studs and duds from a record-setting loss at Arrowhead Stadium

Going into the matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Las Vegas Raiders were considerable underdogs on paper. The Chiefs were surging to the top of the AFC and the Raiders were plummeting down towards a top ten draft pick and unfortunately, this game was just a continuation of that trend.

After some pregame shenanigans on the arrowhead logo at midfield, one would think that the Raiders would be fired up to face off against their hated division rival, but the stunt only seemed to motivate the team in red. The Chiefs jumped out to a big lead in the first quarter and never relinquished it as they punished the Raiders for their foolishness and hubris before kickoff.

This was the type of game that gets coaches fired, GM’s let go, and players traded well before the end of their contracts. We will have to wait and see what the fallout of this game is in the offseason but for now, we can take a look back at the game and discuss the studs and duds from this horrific performance. I think it is safe to say that there will be more duds than studs but there is a silver lining to every cloud so let’s jump right in.
