perhaps the greatest game i've ever seen on tv. here's a recap
1st Q: Green is hit, loses ball on own 20, leads to Oak FG, 3-0.
Early 2nd quarter: Oak kicks a field goal, up 6-0. Considering the Chiefs O has been shitty, a moral win for the D to hold them to 6 pts, and a one posession game. (Trent missed most of the week's practice attending his father's funeral. It's has to be hard to focus on football right now)
Chiefs settle for a FG. Mostly passes in the redzone. Perhaps is Priest was playing, maybe they would have run it.
Next KC drive: Holding makes it 2nd and 20. A 15-yard screen is taken away by another holding. 2nd and 30. Two big passes get it to 4th and 3, so Tynes gets a 47-yarder. 6-6. 30 secs til half.
Great return for Oak. Run for 3 yards, then kick a 48-yarder to lead 9-6 at half.
KC punt, OAK punt, KC punt, Oak punt.
Next drive includes 33 yard gonzo pass. 3rd and goal from the 6. Trent passes to T-Rich. 1st touchdown of the game. 13-6.
2 plays later Collins is picked off, and on 3rd and 2, LJ breaks some tackles on the way to the endzone. 20-6 in the 4th Q.
Raiders coming back, after 1st down incompletion at the KC 34, a questionable roughing the passer call. The announcers agree it was a bad call. Chiefs argue and get another penalty for arguing. Leads to a quick score. 20-15. They go for 2, to get within a FG, but no good. Still 10 minutes left.
3rd and 4 gets a 3yd pass to dante, chiefs punt.
Raiders start with 8 minutes left on their own 16. 3rd and 4, incomplete, but late holding penalty. 3rd and 1, jordan gets 3. 3rd and 4, jordan gets 6.
2 minute warning, raiders down 5, ball on kc 14. 3rd and 3. Randy Moss. Touchdown. 8 balls thrown to him. 1 catch. 7 yards. td. go for 2, get it, now they are up 3.
1:45 on the clock.
Dante looks pumped to do something about that score. Gets stopped at the 28. 1:38.
incomplete, false start on gonzo. on 2nd and 15 - 12 yard pass to horn. 3rd and 3, own 35 1:20 and counting.
5 yd pass to Larry. clock running
7 yd pass to Larry, clock running.
2nd and 3, midfield, trent gets sacked. now they would have to use one of 2 remaining time outs, 3rd and long still in own territory, with 30 ticks. but there's a flag. he was sacked because a raider dl stuck his legs out and tripped him. stops the clock, 1st down, move it up 3 yds.
13 yards to kennison. Call time. 19 seconds left on OAK 37. Tynes said to Trent "get me to the 37"
Trent back looking deep, nothing open, finds Larry again, except this time, Larry's got no one in front of him. Catches it at the 35, 30, 25, are you kidding me, 20, where is the defense, 15, he's going to take it all the way, 10, two guys to beat, 5, can he do it, 1, tackled, ball comes loose, ball in the endzone, chief jumps on it, clock running almost out, holy shit, what is going on, ref says larry was down on the 1, 8 seconds left, what happened, CALL TIMEOUT.
timeout called with 5 seconds left. that's the last one. replay showed he was clearly down at the 1, then the ball came loose. Chiefs down 3. no timeouts. 5 seconds. Kick and go to overtime at home. Try and score and put that game on the line. Coach Vermeil, what's the call?
20-blast.
They're going for it.
One shot. Green takes the snap, Larry's got the ball, Shields and Dunn blocking, Larry jumps up and over and lands in the endzone with the game winner. 80,000 red fans erupt. Coach has got balls.
No Roaf
No Priest
No Surtain
Trent didn't practice

Could have been 4-4 and sitting in last place. Now they are 5-3, one game out of first, poised to make a playoff run.
