We’ve seen quite a few one-sided matchups this season, but the Kansas City Chiefs blowing past the Las Vegas Raiders, scoring 31 points to their zero, might be the most lopsided game of the year. And when you take a closer look at the facts, Pete Carroll’s Raiders might be in for a little more trouble.

Losing in that fashion couldn’t get any worse in most cases. But taking a deeper look at the numbers surely makes it even uglier. According to NFL Plus, the Chiefs finished with 30 first downs. That’s an excellent offensive display, and it’s the same number as the Raiders’ total offensive snaps.

Oh, and Las Vegas only ran 30 players all game, that’s the second-fewest by any team across the league in the Super Bowl era.

Sure, the Raiders’ head coach didn’t have Jakobi Meyers or Brock Bowers. They reached the breaking point when Maxx Crosby left in the second quarter. But still, 31-0? It’s really hard to justify that scoreline to the Raiders fans, who were wondering what exactly went wrong.

The Raiders could only rack up two offensive plays, which came on their opening drive. And that drive ended in a punt after right guard Jackson Powers-Johnson got penalized for holding. The Raiders’ offense simply could not get going against the Chiefs’ defense.

The rest of the game wasn’t any better either. The Raiders ended the game with just three first downs. That’s a historical low, happening just once in their entire history. According to Pro Football Reference, the Raiders became the first team to have fewer than four first downs since 2006.

What makes it worse is that this came only two weeks after the Colts obliterated the Raiders 40-6, including a stretch where Indy outscored them 40-0 over the second and third quarters. At this point, it’s not overreacting to say alarm bells should be ringing in Las Vegas.

The Raiders have failed to score points this season. This was the third time that they failed to score even 10 points. Geno Smith‘s inconsistency does not seem to get any better. And if Pete Carroll wasn’t facing enough heat before, he’s surely on the hot seat now.

On the flip side, everything clicked for Andy Reid and the Chiefs. This was arguably Kansas City’s most complete performance of the season.

The Chiefs’ season-best performance

The Chiefs’ performance was pure domination on both sides of the ball. While the Raiders’ injuries didn’t help, KC made sure to capitalize on every weakness. The Vegas’ injuries made the task at hand a little easier, but there’s probably no team in the NFL that hasn’t faced an injury crisis this season.

Offensively, the Chiefs were firing on all cylinders. They piled up 434 total yards and spread the ball around tactically..

Patrick Mahomes continued to put on MVP numbers, completing 26 of 35 passes for 286 yards and three TDs. Rashee Rice’s return made the difference, just like everyone expected.  The season debut really couldn’t have gone any better. He racked up seven catches, 42 yards, and two TDs. Nine different receivers caught passes. That’s how good the distribution was.

Isiah Pacheco carried the Chiefs’ ground game, racking up 57 yards on 15 carries and one TD, while the Chiefs’ defense completely held out the Raiders’ offense. Las Vegas went 0-for-7 on third down and finished with under 100 total yards. It was so bad that Andy Reid almost felt bad for Pete Carroll post-game.

“My heart goes out to Pete. Pete and I have been doing this a long time,” Andy Reid said. “You see him, the team with the injuries, man, that’s just crushing for them, especially when (Crosby) goes out of the game. That’s a tough thing for a guy to go through,” he added.
