Our weekly Madden sim was wrong last week; let’s hope it stays that way. This one against the Raiders was ugly.
Watch above, or if you can’t, here’s the link.
The results
Raiders 20, Chiefs 6
After the Chiefs went ahead 3-0 on the first drive of the game, just about everything else went wrong. Alex Smith threw his first three interceptions of the season, Marshawn Lynch rushed for 189 yards, including an 84-yard score, and despite 143 yards from Travis Kelce, the Chiefs could not get into the end zone all game. Kicker Harrison Butker was only 2 of 4 in a game in which field goals could have kept the Chiefs in it.
