      NFC playoff picture: Can 'Hawks, Falcons stop Dallas?

      <p>Never saw Raiders corner T.J. Carrie, who jumped Jeremy Maclin’s in-cut for an unsightly interception on his second pass attempt of the half.Held the ball low on his next dropback and had it strip-sacked by Khalil Mack, who almost had a scoop-and-score had he come up with it cleanly.Took a ridiculous delay-of-game penalty on second-and-long and came up 2 yards short on third down before a punt.Basically handed Raiders linebacker Malcolm Smith a gift interception on third down (which was dropped) and missed a wide-open Maclin, who would have had an easy first down. Andy Reid didn’t trust Smith on fourth-and-2 on the next play and took the delay of game after trying to draw the Raiders offsides.Smith finished 17-of-26 passing for 264 yards with the two turnovers despite surpassing the 200-yard mark before halftime.</p>
      <p>Have to hand it to King, though: You've officially arrived as a punter when a rival player goes out of his way to mock you.</p>
      <p>With nine minutes left, Carr delivered his best pass of the game to a wide-open Amari Cooper down the field. It would have been a touchdown, but Cooper stumbled and couldn’t come down with it. On the Raiders’ next possession, they drove from their own 15-yard line to the Kansas City 14 but committed a false start on fourth-and-1 and then misfired on the next play for a turnover on downs.</p>
      <p>The biggest effect Thursday might have been his receivers’ drops. We counted at least eight clear drops during the course of the game, including several big ones. None were bigger than Amari Cooper’s “what was that?” do-si-do as Carr appeared to deliver a strike down the middle of the field. There were nine minutes left, the Raiders trailed by one score and the ball was there for the taking, with Cooper having beaten Chiefs corner Marcus Peters deep and safety Eric Berry not likely to have caught him. Cooper just couldn’t come down with it — even if that doesn’t count as a drop, it was on the receiver.</p>
      <p>The chances were there all Thursday night for the Oakland Raiders, who lost 21-13 to the Kansas City Chiefs and slid from the No. 1 seed in the AFC to the No. 5 slot in the playoffs with only three games remaining.</p>wholesale NFL jerseys,

      what I understand, Jamaal Charles is doing well,&quot; Rapoport said on Thursday's edition of Up to the Minute Live. &quot;He's working hard and is targeting the first week of the playoffs for a return.</p>wholesale football jerseys,
      <p>In the first half, Smith was precise, confident and even dangerous. And this was after the Chiefs got off to a disastrous start — a Tyreek Hill fumble four plays into the game, a failed Andy Reid challenge, a turnover on downs with some shaky play-calling.</p>
      <p>2. Even with an interception and a lost fumble, Smith thoroughly outplayed his MVP-candidate counterpart. Derided for his penchant of throwing short of the sticks in a conservative aerial attack, Smith let loose with a barrage of perfectly placed intermediate and deep throws. His 38-yard touchdown to Hill was just his third touchdown of 20 or more air yards in the past three years -- the same number as Johnny Manziel and Buccaneers backup Mike Glennon. Of Smith's three completions over 30 air yards this season, three came Thursday night in a 12-degree wind chill. In two games versus the Raiders this season, he completed 36 of 48 passes (75.0 percent) at a gaudy 10.2 yards per attempt. After a few road bumps last month, he's now taking his best two-game stretch of the season into next week's game versus the Titans.</p>wholesale NFL jerseys
