Raiders 16, Chiefs 13, OT
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, December 24th, 2011 at 2:18 pm in Oakland Raiders.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 36-yard field goal on the first possession in overtime as the Raiders remained in the thick of the playoff race with a 16-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
Janikowski’s kick was set up by a 53-yard strike from Carson Palmer to Darrius Heyward-Bey to the Kansas City 23, with a pair of Michael Bush runs setting up the game winner and touching off a Raiders celebration.
Combined with a loss by Denver in Buffalo, the Raiders pulled into a first-place tie in the division race at 8-7, but will need the Broncos to lose to the Chiefs next to win the title _ provided Oakland closes out with a win against San Diego.
Oakland also remains in the hunt for a wild card berth, although they’re a game back of the Cincinnati Bengals at 9-6.
The Raiders defense, which gave up 71 and 98 yards in touchdown drives to the Lions in last week’s 28-27 loss, allowed Kansas City to go 80 yards in five plays in 1:53 to tie the score 13-13 on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Orton to Dwayne Bowe.
It came after the Raiders took a 13-6 lead on a 32-yard field goal by Janikowski, a short-field drive set up when Oakland stuffed Jackie Battle on fourth-and-1 from the Chiefs 43-yard line.
Following a Raiders’ three-and-out, Kansas City got itself back in position for a game-winning 49-yard field goal attempt by Ryan Succop with five seconds left only to have Trevor Scott block the attempt at the gun. Had Succop converted the kick, the Raiders playoffs hope would have been over.
For all the Raiders penalties, the most costly came in the first half and erased a perfectly executed 36-yard touchdown pass from Shane Lechler to Brandon Myers on a 53-yard fake field goal attempt by Sebastian Janikowski.
Lechler took the snap and pitched a shovel pass to Myers, who was running from left to right, and turned the corner to score what appeared to be a game-altering touchdown.
Unfortunately, the snap came a fraction after the play clock had hit zero, with the Raiders absorbing a painful delay of game penalty that hurt even worse when Janikowski’s ensuing 58-yard field goal attempt hit the crossbar.
The Raiders took a quick 3-0 lead as Bryan McCann returned the opening kickoff 91 yards to the Buffalo 14, with the Raiders failing to capitalize with a touchdown and settling for a 28-yard field goal by Janikowski.
The Chiefs tied it 3-3 on Ryan Succop’s 29-yard field goal, set up by a Derrick Johnson interception of Palmer when the Oakland quarterback was hit by a defender as he threw.

Now need Orton to show his good side next week.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Fantastic! We win with a Jano FG! Merry Christmas Jer!
December 24th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
How does the tie with Denver play out right now?
December 24th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
So if both the Raiders and Donkeys win next week do we still lose the division?
December 24th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
nevermind
December 24th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Yep
December 24th, 2011 at 2:20 pm

*********************
Yes.
But we are alive and well in the wildcard right now
December 24th, 2011 at 2:21 pm
Raiders need to beat SD
KC needs to beat Denver (they’ll do it for Crennell)
December 24th, 2011 at 2:21 pm

I think we’ll get it because of our schedule. Gotta check on it.

Well,I’ll have a few more grey hairs tomorrow.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
cardiac kids…Game should have been over in regulation….
team loves taking time off our ticker…
December 24th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
How about that tip pass by McClain that saved a TD, and ultimately saved our season?
December 24th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Guys, I don’t think I can do this s*** anymore.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
We need a win nd a loss by den,cin,nyj
December 24th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Dakota we get in the playoffs if we win and the broncos or bengals lose
December 24th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
If we defeat the Chargers next week we win our Division.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Wildcard, and Div is still available…This team will close out it out…
December 24th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
MM34 on that screen pass to McCluster is laughable.
He does that crap all the time.
Free to roam, nobody touches him……..and he doesn’t even come 5 feet from making a tackle.
THAT GUY IS AWFUL!!!
December 24th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
D never quit
kept us in the game
the offense looked weak
we should have won by two touchdowns
December 24th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Getting old blows. These games really are becoming too stressful. My heart wants to jump out of my skin.
I get a tear in my eye when I realize what a monster Bey is becoming. He is always healthy, improves every year, works hard and is becoming the best WR in his draft class proving Al right.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Did you guys see that jump by Jerome Simpson for the TD ?/ WOW just WOW maybe play of the year
December 24th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
If we defeat the Chargers next week we win our Division
***************************
Nope.
Bronco’s still have to lose.
We do not control our own destiny.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:25 pm
We don’t necessarily need the Jets to lose because we have the tie breaker with them but idk about the Titans
December 24th, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Where is kc den game?
December 24th, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Yeah, Denver has us on the tiebreaker fellas with the better division record if we both win next week.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:25 pm

Feels great to have a meaningful game after Christmas!
December 24th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
Jets are done. It’s looking Better 4 Us!!!!!
December 24th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
As for the wildcard; with the Jets losing today; we just need the Titans and Bengals to both lose and for us to handle our biz against San Diego
December 24th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
Ok, so all we have to do now is fire Bresnahan, promote (insert anyone with half a brain) as the defensive coordinator, put in extra practice between palmer & every receiver not named Heyward Bary, and were good

Maybe Romeo will play spoiler…he needs that coaching job. Maybe just maybe the Chiefs will defeat the Broncos next week.

Bengals win hurt our wildcard a little, but if they lose next week, and the Titans lose, as long as we win we are in.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Mcfuffin next week?
December 24th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Been watching Raider/ Chef games since 1970… This was a typical game between these two teams… Any win is a good win…
December 24th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
My hands were shaking on that Seabass FG. I’m not sure if my heart has started beating again. Help?
December 24th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
FIREHUEY!
Merry Christmas.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Chiefs probably will pack it in next week.
But if Tebow can string together a 2nd half like today, we have a good chance!!!
December 24th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Getting old blows. These games really are becoming too stressful. My heart wants to jump out of my skin.

They should have some kind of health warning on before the game starts.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Orton will want to beat the Donks badly..
December 24th, 2011 at 2:30 pm
Just so you all know, The Raiders are harder on my health than Booze, Weed, And Junk food! Print that!

December 24th, 2011 at 2:30 pm
Jets just imploded. That looked familiar, but NOT THIS WEEK!!!!!!

December 24th, 2011 at 2:30 pm
Orton sucks, relying on him to win a road game for us to get in the playoffs is a shame on us.
But no matter what, when we kickoff we are alive, as the Bronco’s game is on the same time as we are.
Bengals play in the AM, in Baltimore. Not sure about the Titans.

Bengals play the Ravens who will be playing for the 1 seed and homefield throughout, but the Titans will be playing the Texans who really don’t have anything to play for. At least the game is in Houston though…never know…….
December 24th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
If I was not smoking serious dank I might have just had a stroke.
That was quite the game and we stand a great chance of winning the AFC West.
I think KC will handle Touchdown Timmy and we humiliate the dolts

December 24th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
Had baked clams, chivalade, and all kinds of appetizers and I couldn’t eat anything.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
Gotta give props to Seymore. He came through Big Time today…
December 24th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
raiders need to beat chargers and i hope orton comes back and bites elway and effin’ tebow in the arse next week! GO CHIEFS!!!
December 24th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
All still in favor of getting rid of D-Bey say I ,,,,,,,,anyone?,,,,,,,,,,,anyone?,,,,,,hello?,,,,,,
Blood pressure before game 116/75,,,blood pressure after game 124/81.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Good to see Richard Seymour today. Looked like he was playing angry.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Palmer should never attempt a throw of under 25 yards. Just throw bombs, then at least if it is picked it is like a punt.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Merry xmas nation im out
December 24th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Lions are up 7-0 on Chargers. Matters a little bit for tie-breakers.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Chuck B still sucks. He must be fired.

Whatever it takes!Just win baby!
December 24th, 2011 at 2:35 pm
Hue should send Chuck B packing after today. No reason to keep him around at this point. Let Waufle and/or Woodson run the defense.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:35 pm
Chefs are gonna play hard aginst the Donks… It’s a division game… They will play for Crennel … Ortons will want to ruin the season for the Donks…
December 24th, 2011 at 2:36 pm
LETS go Orton .. lets go
December 24th, 2011 at 2:36 pm
I hope today was the day the Teblow bubble finally burst. Hope he showed Dungver just enought to force them to ruin their next two years waiting for him to improve.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
Orton will want to beat Tebow cuz he was benched for that scrub so he will want to prove them wrong
December 24th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
Simple as this..we win next week and Denver looses we are in…we both win kc gets in with better divison record
Those losses to lions , bills ,chiefs and dolphins can come back and haunt us all off season.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
KC has exactly the right kind of defense to stop Tebow from pulling any of that cute s***.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
Adrian Peterson sustained a Willis MaGahee type injury. Remember, he had an injury checkered collegiate career.
One more reason NOT to draft a running back in the first 10 picks of the draft.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:38 pm
EVERYONE!!!!
LET’S GO ORTON….LET’S GO!!
December 24th, 2011 at 2:38 pm
Yes, bad day for the Viqueens. Had Luck in their sights, but instead they lost their star RB and their young QB and still won the game.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Okay guys, if we win next week we will be in IF Denver or Cincinnati loose. We win and either of them lose and we’re in…because we own the tie breaker with Cincy & Jets, but Denver if they win next week has the tie breaker over us. As now we’re the same record as the Jets if we win next week it doesn’t matter what the Jets do.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
That Peterson injury looked terrible.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
. . .it’s win-win for the Raiders. If KC wins the Raiders need only to beat the dischargers to win the division.
KC looses & the Raiders have their new DC. . .

dhb stays on his feet he runs into the endzone gameover
and man did that ball hang up there just like the dmoore touchdown
happy for him that he caught it you can tell that all he was thinking about was catching that ball
dhb is getting better just wish he could catch with his hands

Jerry, need to edit:
“The Raiders took a quick 3-0 lead as Bryan McCann returned the opening kickoff 91 yards to the Buffalo 14″
I know that Buffalo loss still hurts and all…
December 24th, 2011 at 2:41 pm

Not quite. KC has a worse record than us. There’s actually no way KC can get in now.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
I meant Denver not kc..my bad
December 24th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
Its strange to be watching niner-seahawks because its a good game. Pete has the gulls playing hardball.
Their OLine is impressive. They must have a good coach
December 24th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Maybe actually KC could get in IF we lose and they beat the Broncos…but I don’t really care about that scenario. Cause if we lose who the hell cares if it’s Broncos or Chiefs that move on.
The whole point is that we gotta win next week. Then it’s up to Denver or Cincy to lose and we’re in.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Who do the bungholes play next week?
December 24th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Seahawks and 49ers defenses are easily the most fun defenses in the league to watch.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
dont praise palmer both big plays he hung the ball up in the air and was late on the throw
December 24th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
So RGIII becomes the new Minnesota QB? I think they have to make that move. A difference making QB playing in a dime with a somewhat imposing “D?”
I fear AP has a long road back. . .

KC beats Denver next week. Orton gets his payback and the players want to keep Crennel as coach. They will to play spoiler to Denver for sure.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
KC is 6-9, impossbile for them to get in…
December 24th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Christmas
Eve’ an apt day for the magic to leave Denver. . .
December 24th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
I just hope the Handshake and embrace conversation went like this:
Hue: That was a helluva game Ro, you guys gave us all we could handle. I don’t know how we pulled that off. Please help us out next week and stop Tebow. I owe you one brother.
Romeo: Don’t worry Hue I got you baby. I’ll take care of it no doubt. What the hell is that smell? Just get changed before the presser.

Antispy,
Minnesota just used a 1st round pick on their QB Ponder. They’re not drafting another one.
They’ll likely trade down and try to grab a few pieces. They got old on D in a hurry, and need an explosive backup RB.

Man, I love him as much as the next Raider fan and know he’s our best player when healthy, but whats really on my Christmas list is a 1st rounder and 2 2nd or 3rd rounders for him…..sad to say, but I think that ship has sailed. Lisfranc is one of the toughest injuries in all of sports, and with him being a running back; makes it even tougher. I wish him the best and would love to see him return, but if we can get something good for him; we might have to part ways…

December 24th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
dakota, I believe the report suggested DMac doesn’t run a risk of re-injuring that tendon if he plays.
At least no higher risk than any other player.
It’s not like a break that could re-break if not properly healed. It’s a messed up tendon.
December 24th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
I’M ready for a nap, that game suked all the x-mas energy from me.
I feel confortable about Orton beating his old team. Denver is in a downward spiral. this division can ba had. but we have to win vs chargers.

GOOD NEWS FELLAS….When it’s a 3team tie breaker; the rules are slightly altered. We have both the Jets and Titans edged with strength of victory. All we need is the Bengals to lose to the Ravens and to handle biz ourselves and we can snag the wildcard, though I’d much rather us win the division and host a game.

December 24th, 2011 at 3:04 pm
If we win and Denver wins, the head to head, division, and conference records are all tied. The tie breaker is common opponents that we lose on. Basically the Miami games. They won and we lost. Broncos 4-4 in common games. We are 3-5 with Miami being the difference. Funny thing is we both won and lost to the exact same teams as far as non divisional common opponents games.

Man we could have been up 1 had we won last week
December 24th, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Arm strength is very, very, very overrated. Decision-making and accuracy are what makes a QB.
JC makes safer choices with the ball, but sometimes the safe choice isn’t necessarily the right one. Carson makes a lot more bad decisions, but he’ll make plays that JC doesn’t.
Accuracy is where Carson is clearly superior to JC, but he has to get better with his decision-making for his accuracy to matter.

December 24th, 2011 at 3:15 pm
#105, you’re on the right track.
But, due to DMAC’s injury history I think a second this year & a conditional; as high as your requested first & third (likely linked to a playoff-superbowl scenario). . .
So, let’s say for sake of argument the Vikings emerge as that team and the Raiders draft Lamar Miller of Miami. 5′11″, 212 with a world class burst. Not quite DMAC’s movement skills but combines with Bush & Jones you have a relatively cheap expenditure @ RB. . .
And the Raiders meet the Vikings in the accompanying Superbowl. . .
I can dream, can’t I?

Here’s an ironic twist; New England was forced to start Logan Mankins @ LT due to the injury to Matt Light. Since Sebastian Vollner, the Patises regular RT was already hurt Nate Solder was subbing for him.
Mankins left leg was fallen on & he left the game.
So, like the Pack the Patsies may have problems keeping their QB upright in the playoffs. . .

For the Wild Card:

-If the Titans win, we need the Jets to win. If the Titans lose, the Jets game is meaningless.
For the Division:
-We need the Broncos to lose AND we have to beat the Chargers.

I’m uncertain as to why the Titans own the tiebreaker over us, as they are giving it to them based on best common game win percentage. The Titans have beaten the Broncos in one of those four games, and that’s why they get the edge over us. What I don’t understand is, why doesn’t our win against the Broncos count? Why is it just the loss that counts? Anyone have an idea?
December 24th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
It is really hard to give any love to Chuck B. Seymour spared us a miserable beginning to the offseason, thankfully.

Who owns tie-breaker next week if Bengals lose and Raiders (and Denver) win?
Link (new window)
December 24th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
@Beach
Yep, because there would be 4 teams tied at 9-7, and our strength of victory would be the winning factor. For some reason, if there’s only 3 teams (Titans, Raiders, Bengals), the Titans win the tiebreaker over the Bengals and over us before we get to the strength of victory tiebreaker (which we would win). So we need all 4 of us tied, or we need to only be tied with the Bengals or Bengals and Jets. We can’t tie with the Titans unless it’s 4 way.
December 24th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I want to get the wild card. This is my reasoning: West div. winner will play the best wild card team Pitt/Balt. worst wild card team plays the Texans. If that’s not enough then the worst of the winners plays the Pat’s, and the best of the winners plays Pitt/Balt.
I like the senario where we Play the Texans and Pat’s over Pitt/Balt.
December 24th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
@LTR
I know, and it’s the best win percentage in a minimum of 4 common games. We only share 4 common games with the Titans (the minimum):
-Titans lost to Houston, we beat Houston (+1 Raiders)
-Titans beat Buffalo, we lost to Buffalo (-1 Raiders)
-Titans beat Cleveland, we beat Cleveland (neutral)
-Titans beat Denver, we lost to Denver (-1 Raiders)
This is why they give the Titans the tiebreak. I don’t understand why our loss to Denver overrides our win, though.
December 24th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
Looks like we would have the wild-card tie-breaker vs Titans as it goes all the way down to 4th one: strength of schedule.
Titans have played the Colts (twice), Bucs, and Panthers. Enough said.
December 24th, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Chris,
what other tie-breaker do you have the Titans winning over us? Same conference schedule. Common games doesn’t factor in, as there aren’t 4 of them (unless you count Denver as the 4th, which we beat once, they beat once). Each have 3-1 record in common games.
December 24th, 2011 at 3:52 pm
We can win the division. I hope the chiefs are pissed off and destroy the broncos. Kyle Orton has a chance to get back at his old team and make elway look like a dumbass. But we can do it
December 24th, 2011 at 3:53 pm
I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I want to get the wild card. This is my reasoning: West div. winner will play the best wild card team Pitt/Balt. worst wild card team plays the Texans.

@Alex7
That’s the one I’m talking about, the 4 common games. The Denver game does count, and for some reason, they are comparing our loss to Denver against Tennessee’s win against Denver. Our win against Denver does not matter in this situation, for some reason. Again, I do not understand why, but this is what happens if it’s a 3 way tie between us, the Bengals, and the Titans. The Titans eliminate the Bengals because of a better conference record, and the Titans eliminate us because of a better win record in common games. It never gets to strength of victory.
December 24th, 2011 at 4:00 pm
I guess in the common game situation, a loss overrides a win if a team has played the common team twice.
December 24th, 2011 at 4:01 pm
LTR
Texans won their division and will have a better record than either West division winner. Both those Div. winners play the wild card teams. Texans getting the team with the worst record and the West Div winner getting Pitt/Balt.
December 24th, 2011 at 4:01 pm

December 24th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
This team doesn’t shoot itself in the foot, it damn well blows both feet off! Anyway a wins a win for all that, no matter what. Some observations fro the game:
DHB is turning into a reliable receiver and comes to play everygame.(Thanks AL)
Romac looks like he is favoring his right ankle and definately looks like he is playing hurt
D at least came to play, but there is still room for improvement
Jano is the man.(Thanks again AL)
It’s still a great time to be a RAIDERFAN!
December 24th, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Giordano has just as many receptions from Orton as the receivers he’s throwing to !

Figuring out AFC wildcard is messy, but: CIN wins, they’re in. If DEN wins West and OAK still wins and it’s OAK/CIN/NYJ/TEN at 9-7, it’s OAK

If OAK wins West and CIN/NYJ/TEN are all 9-7 TEN goes. IF OAK wins West (or loses) TEN loses at HOU, CIN loses and Jets win…they go.
By the way, the Ravens win sealed the Texans into the 3-seed. No bye for HOU. It’s either BAL or PIT for last AFC bye. NE clinched bye 2day.

Merry Christmas Raiders!~
How about Matt Giordano? “Butch Coolidge”
Crazy game and the refs have a lot to answer for. Ridiculous.
Its like they knew Oakland was going to run their Jumbo pack and didn’t like it.
Ran one play and got flagged. Ran it again the way the refs told them too and flagged again for another illegal formation.
That Mike Carrey guy is always an A hole. Always know its gonna be a long day when that d bag is flaggin.

Reaiity finally set in on teblow….kc’s defense will shut him down and Orton will get some payback

250,All I can say is RAIDERS
December 24th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
254. Just as I foretold.
Knew that the Pats cellar dwelling D exposed how to counter Tebow magic.
Anytime they run that garbage option you hit Tebow. Let the pursuit take the pitch option YOU kill Tebow. The lowly Bills showed his reign is over…

Christmas came early….Reality set in on Tebow
just find a way to get ahead, and once he has to throw to
come back from a deficit – INTS reign….

Our biggest challenge will be winning. I’m very curious to see whether or not they flex our game to Sunday Night (the first time we will have ever been on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, crazily enough) since it will be America’s darlings, the Chargers vs. the Raiders. NBC can flex any game this week, as none is set yet, and Dallas vs. NYG can’t be flexed since Dallas has already played the maximum of 3 times on Sunday night this year (that would have been their first choice). Not sure what other game they would flex, unless they choose Cincy and Baltimore, or Detroit vs. GB.

the Titans beat us in a 3 way tie.
December 24th, 2011 at 5:04 pm
I think we should be flexed, since our team has not been on NBC SNF yet this year, or any year, and since we’ll potentially be fighting for a playoff spot. I’d love to see our boys on Sunday Night, in primetime, for all the marbles.

[...] Raiders 16, Chiefs 13, OT KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 36-yard field goal on the first possession in overtime as the Raiders remained in the thick of the playoff race with a 16-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. [...]

They don’t count the Denver game we lost, they count the fact Raiders are .500 vs Denver, while Titans are 1.000 vs Denver.
