Chiefs Top Raider Week Moments No. 7: Bad Moon Rison
September 8, 1997
Monday Night Football, Kansas City Chiefs are trailing by five with time set to expire. Time for Elvis Grbac to dial up Andre Rison for the win! In one of the most thrilling Monday Night Football games ever, the Chiefs knocked off the Raiders with a last second 33 yard pass to their star wide receiver. Now this is football!
The late 90s were a mixed bag for the Kansas City Chiefs. You just never knew what to expect from them, despite the fact we all knew the team was pretty good. This, of course, was the infamous Grbac/Gannon year in which the Chiefs were gifted an opportunity and shot themselves in the foot.
During his time here, Andre Rison really only had one big season. That was the 1997 season when this Monday Night Miracle took place. The game and play go down as all time greats in Monday Night Football and Chiefs vs Raiders history. It gets the edge over similar finishes simply because it was on such a big stage.
