The Oakland Raiders don’t drop in our NFL power rankings this week, despite a 21-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football.

Thursday night games always put the traveling team in a bind, and this looked to be every bit the case for quarterback Derek Carr and Co. Carr finished the night going 17-of-41 for just 117 yards and never looked comfortable in the pocket. Maybe it’s his injured pinky. Or maybe it just wasn’t going to be Oakland’s night.

The biggest damage came in the second quarter, when Kansas City scored 21 points to the Raiders’ seven. That, and the fact Oakland managed just six points off three turnovers, helped hand the Raiders their third loss of the season.

Oakland has some winnable games over the next couple of weeks, so look for the Raiders to bounce back nicely.
