Raiders get off to a swift start against the Chiefs 


The Raiders have placed emphasis on being more efficient on the offensive side of the ball, and that’s exactly what happened. The Raiders’ opening drive consisted of nine plays for 75 yards – going 3-of-3 on third down conversions – and was capped off with an 18-yard receiving touchdown by Jakobi Meyers. This marked just the second time a team this season has scored on their opening drive against the Chiefs.

Rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell totaled 138 passing yards this half while completing 13-of-16 pass attempts. Along with Davante Adams’ team-leading five receptions for 73 yards, O’Connell continued to spread the ball around and connect with Meyers, Hunter Renfrow, Josh Jacobs and Amber Abdullah.

O’Connell and Co. finished the half with 245 total yards of offense and converted 3-of-5 third downs attempts.
