Raiders QB Derek Carr
"When you line up and it's raining, the weather's no good and they can't throw the ball, you just line up and run the football. We weren't playing our gaps and it's like a high school football game."
Chiefs LB Tamba Hali
28.0: Average yards per rush for Oakland's Latavius Murray, who has 112 rushing yards on four carries in the first half before sustaining a concussion. 34: Rushing yards by running back Marcel Reece on seven carries on Oakland's 17-play, 80-yard game-winning drive capped by Derek Carr's 9-yard TD pass to James Jones. 179: Oakland rushing yards on 30 attempts.

Oakland's 16-game losing streak is the longest in the NFL since the 2009 season when the St. Louis Rams ended a 17-game slide and the Detroit Lions halted a 19-game streak. Latavius Murray's 90-yard scoring run early in the second quarter is the longest run by a Raiders running back since Bo Jackson's 92-yarder against Cincinnati in 1989. Quarterback Terrelle Pryor had a 93-yard TD run for Oakland against Pittsburgh in 2013. Oakland's victory ends a 24-game losing streak for first-year Raiders defensive tackle Antonio Smith, who dropped his final 14 games of the 2013 season as a member of the Houston Texans.
