Good: Defense

Aside from the run defense (more on that later), the Kansas City Chiefs defense played pretty well, especially considering how bad the offense was in the second half.

Right out of the gates, the Chiefs stopped the Raiders on the first possession. They later had to go back on the field due to a Tyreek Hill fumble on a punt return and held Oakland to three.

Despite the Chiefs turning the ball over three times, the defense held their own. They only allowed Oakland to score six points off of three turnovers.

Had the ball not been turned over, the Raiders probably would have only had the lone touchdown run by Latavius Murray.

So, yeah, the defense was pretty good on Thursday night in front of a revved up Arrowhead crowd.
