On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs walked into a soggy O.co Coliseum and walked out with their sixth victory in four seasons against the Oakland Raiders.

The Chiefs were not favored in this game and many thought that the three hours of rain before the game would make the offense one dimensional. To be fair the Chiefs ran the ball 40 times compared to only 23 passes but it didn’t matter. The Raiders still couldn’t stop Spencer Ware and Jamaal Charles.

After the first series the real trouble looked to be on the defensive side of the ball. Quarterback Derek Carr looked comfortable and poised as he marched the Raiders down the field for an opening score. Afterwards the Chiefs were forced to punt and the Raiders had the ball back. It looked as though the Chiefs were in for a long day against a resurgent team.

However, a semblance of pressure was able to force Carr to throw off his back foot and into the arms of Marcus Peters. Things changed from there and the Chiefs suddenly knew how to move the ball. They never looked back on their way to a 26-10 victory.
