Jamaal Charles rushes for two touchdowns and Kansas City sacks Terrelle Pryor 10 times as the undefeated Chiefs end a six-game home losing streak to Oakland on Oct. 12, 2013 at Arrowhead Stadium before an announced crowd of 76,394 fans.
The Chiefs open a season with six wins for the first time since a 9-0 start in 2003.
Pryor throws for 216 yards and a TD but has three interceptions, which lead to 17 Chiefs points.
Pryor's 39-yard touchdown pass to Denarius Moore midway through the second quarter gives Oakland a 7-0 advantage.
The Raiders (2-4) lose to the Chiefs for only the fourth time the past 11 games.

The Chiefs win despite having only 216 total yards and running just 24 plays
THEY SAID IT:
"We had a chance to win this game. We were one score down until late in the game. I thought we played hard; we just have to find a way to win. We can't make mistakes in a game like this."
Raiders DE Vance Hunter
"I fed off our defense and our crowd all day. They fired everybody up all day long. They never gave the Raiders a chance to breathe."
