Pete Carroll: Raiders’ blowout loss was a game I didn’t see coming

Raiders coach Pete Carroll never expected to lose 31-0 to the Chiefs on Sunday, but that’s what happened.

“It was a game I didn’t see coming. We prepared really well,” Carroll said. “They’re a great team, they did everything they did, they played really well in all phases and kept us completely at bay. We couldn’t score a first down and we couldn’t get off the field.”

Carroll acknowledged that the 2-5 Raiders are nowhere near where they need to be to compete in the AFC West.

“We have a lot of work to do and we have a lot of catching up to do,” Carroll said.

On the contrary, the match was even more brilliant than the 31-0 score indicated. The Chiefs pulled Patrick Mahomes and many other starters for the fourth quarter, and they still outgained the Raiders 434 yards to 95 and 30 first downs to three. It was an ugly game for Carroll’s team, and it shows he has a long rebuilding job ahead of him in Las Vegas.
