Can't vote for Special Teams because of the long kick return that setup 7 points for the Raiders. But the 3rd string Chiefs FG kicker was the MVP of the game. Dude scored 13 of 19 points in cold conditions, while Raiders kicker missed 3 FG's. [Reply]
If you looked at the sack and passes batted down stats you would say D line but they allowed the worst rushing offense in the league to gain 116 yards with a yards per carry average of 4.64. Special teams also allowed them a huge return. I'm going for the Raiders centre. [Reply]
Pass catchers were OK but had some big drops in the 2nd half. OL was abysmal. RBs averaged less than 2 YPC outside of one big run. Defense let the worst rushing offense in the NFL go for like 5 YPC and AOC shredded them for 300+.
It’s a minor miracle that we won this one. They kicked our ass in both trenches. [Reply]

That's not fair. The Raiders had a different QB who could throw deep and did just that. Gardner Minshew was guiding the Raiders to a #1 picks but got injured. He has guided a team there before.
Teams knew when GM played he wouldn't throw it deep. O'Connell will throw the bomb. [Reply]

Yep. Kicker off the street outperformed everyone on this back-to-back championship roster yesterday. This is the call. [Reply]

Raiders gave the game away. Literally.
I'm actually glad to maintain the draft slot, but it does suck to give away games.
Freaking AP hiring Gaetz as OC was a mistake that everyone knew was a mistake when it happened but hoped it wasn't. The difference in the offense with the Turners in charge is night and day.
Of course not having Minshew as QB is a big plus. [Reply]
