The Raiders recorded their first shutout since 2002 with a 15-0 victory over the hapless Kansas City Chiefs, today. The game was the team’s last home game of the season.
The Chiefs were terrible on offense the entire game, failing to get so much as a first down until the second half. Brady Quinn, who was once in the conversation for the number one overall pick along with JaMarcus Russell, was under fire throughout the game but also failed to be very effective in doing anything for the 2-12 Chiefs.
