Jarrett Stidham connected with Hunter Renfrow in the endzone to score their first touchdown of the game. Unfortunately for the Las Vegas Raiders, it was the fourth quarter and they were still down by 28 points. The play served as the only breath of fresh air in an otherwise uneventful game.
Stidham went 22 of 36 for 219 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against the Chiefs. He also rushed seven times for a total of 50 yards in hopes of keeping the game competitive. This was a decent showing for Stidham, but not enough to get him a first-career victory with the Raiders.

The Las Vegas Raiders had a chance to make their game against the Chiefs a competitive one but failed miserably in the first half. While a lot of this was due to Jarrett Stidham struggling to move the ball, the defense repeatedly gave up big plays when it mattered.
This resulted in gameplay that was miserable to watch and showed just how bad things were. The Chiefs even racked up a total of 239 yards in the first half. 176 of those through the air, while the Raiders allowed 68 yards on the ground. That comes to an average gain of 8.4 yards per play, which is embarrassing for Las Vegas.

The way the Las Vegas Raiders ended the season against the Kansas Chiefs was a total nightmare. They couldn’t reach the end zone until the fourth quarter, couldn't stop the Chiefs on offense, and got outcoached several times. This was just nothing short of a slap in the face to Raiders fans and leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth
The leading scorer for the Raiders was Daniel Carlson, who chipped in seven points by the end of the game. Stidham managed a touchdown to Hunter Renfrow, but it was too little, too late. The Raiders' defense probably deserves the most blame out of all of them, allowing 31 points by the end of the evening. Happy offseason everyone!

The Las Vegas Raiders have dropped dramatically in performance between the 2021 and 2022 seasons. In fact, they might have been better off under former head coach, Rich Bisscia than Josh McDaniels The organization also made horrible front-office moves, paying $121.5 million to a quarterback who couldn’t even keep his team competitive.
Las Vegas also declined Joshua Jacobs's third-year option, meaning they will have to pay a hefty sum to keep him off the market. The final issue is Josh McDaniels, who has once again shown he has no business being a head coach. Of course, McDaniels might be trying to make Carr the scapegoat but should be revealed as a fraud in 2023. That's the only thing fans might have to look forward to in 2023.
