Turnovers and explosive plays proved costly for the Raiders in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium.

What went wrong for the Raiders against the Chiefs? Alas, immoderate adversity for manager Klint Kubiak’s Las Vegas Raiders after three consecutive wins, courtesy of their red‑and‑white rivals.
