Raiders lose 40-33 shootout to Chiefs

The Chiefs arrived in Oakland with sights set on the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs this season. The Raiders have a better shot at the No. 1 pick in next year’s draft.

Both teams made progress toward those outcomes Sunday, though the Raiders gave arguably their most inspired performance of the season in the process.

Unable to keep pace with the Chiefs’ potent offense, the Raiders lost 40-33 at the Coliseum to fall to 2-10 on the season, while Kansas City became the AFC’s first team to double-digit wins.

With the Cardinals beating the Packers on Sunday, the Raiders and 49ers are the only two-win teams remaining in the NFL. The Raiders hung with a Chiefs team against whom they were cast as underdogs by more than two touchdowns.
