Notes:  It’s a battle of ex-Chiefs (Rich Gannon, Andre Rison) against ex-Raiders (Gunther Cunningham, Chester McGlockton) in a slugfest typical of these two teams.  The Chiefs’  missed tackles allow the Raiders offense to flourish, despite the large amount of yellow flags thrown on the field (9 against each team).  Kansas City loses in Oakland for the first time since 1996, starting a 5 game slide that the team never recovers from.  The Raiders get away with a couple of beneficial calls (KC fumble recovery in the end zone that is ruled down, Dudley TD in the 3rd quarter with 1 foot out of bounds), but they are the stronger team this time and post a huge win over the Chiefs.  Tony Gonzalez becomes the first tight end in NFL history to post 4 consecutive 100-yard receiving games.

Thanks Robert!
