Raiders coach predicts win at halftime but Chiefs rally to 30-27 victory
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said his team would win during the halftime break, but Kansas City overcame a deficit to win 30-27.
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak told CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson at halftime that his team was "winning" and would "win the game." The Raiders entered the locker room with a 13-10 lead over the Kansas City Chiefs. After the break, the Raiders extended the lead to 16-10, but Kubiak elected to forgo a field-goal after a penalty nullified the kick and instead attempted a fourth-down conversion, which failed.
Kansas City responded with a series of scores, including three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, to finish with a 30-27 win. After the game, Kubiak said his halftime comment reflected how he felt at the time and expressed no regret about the fourth-down decision, noting he "regret[s] not getting it."
The loss marked the Chiefs' first win of the season against the Raiders, who had previously held opponents scoreless in the fourth quarter in their first three games. Running back Kenneth Walker recorded a career-high 177 rushing yards for Kansas City.
