BAD: ERIC MURRAY CAN’T TACKLE
This one speaks for itself. Eric Murray had a rough day, failing to notch a single tackle and struggling to cover Jared Cook. The Raiders tight end ended the day with seven receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown.
Murray has had to step in for Eric Berry all season long and hopefully Berry is good to go here shortly. Murray has done the best he can, but he was picked on a lot on Sunday and that will only continue.
BAD: PENALTIES
It’s very possible that penalties will be this team’s downfall come January and that statement is hard to disprove after the Chiefs’ performance on Sunday. They ended the day with 11 penalties for 94 yards.
That’s embarrassing as it is, but it’s even worse when you consider they had more flags thrown at them than the Raiders, who are always undisciplined. Oakland had eight penalties for 74 yards. This sloppiness needs to be fixed.
