Just like in their first meeting in 1986, the Chiefs jumped to a 17-0 lead. In that first matchup, Plunkett came off the bench in the 2nd half and led the Raiders to a stunning 24-17 comeback win. In this game, the Raiders were well on their way to another 17-point come from behind victory, clawing all the way back to within 20-17, but they failed to score in the 4th quarter, despite holding the Chiefs scoreless in the 4th, as well. This game ended the Raider dynasty forever. (The Eagles game was the beginning of the end, but the Raiders were still 8-5 and alive for a playoff spot after that one.) The following week, in a meaningless game against the pitiful 2-13 Colts, the Raiders lost in Jim Plunkett's final game ever, and the epitaph on the Raiders' dynasty was written.

This was the start of some really bad roster management, living in the past, and an owner pre occupied with the NFL and stadiums. As good as the rosters were in the 80s, the weakness at wide receiver, quarterback, offensive line, and linebacker were some of the worst units after 84. Wide receiver was stacked by 1990 with Gault, Fernandez, and Brown, but the other weaknesses remained with an ancient coaching scheme.

The Raiders never recovered from Marcus Allen’s fumble against Philly

I also agree. That game and moment was the turning point of the Raider mystique. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but the Raiders overall record prior to that game and their overall record after that game tells the whole story. I also don't like Marcus Allen's fumbles. Its like he was throwing away the ball games on purpose.

Chiefs' visitors unis looked sharp.

Love that music piece in the last few mins, 17:07 and the remaining 2 after

7 Raiders turnovers were the difference in this game, statistically the Raiders outgained the Chiefs but 3 lost fumbles and 4 interceptions told the story.

NO team can survive that many miscues, especially when your opponent has no turnovers

It's astonishing that the Raiders lost the turnover battle 7-0... and still lost by just 3.

I got stuck with the Dolphins-Rams game which was a better GOTW candidate, Miami won 37-31 in OT, Dan Marino threw for over 400 yards and 5 TD's but having to listen to Bob Griese and Jimmy Cefalo call a Dolphins game was cruel and unusual punishment, 2 ex-Dolphins should have never been assigned to call this game!

7 fumbles total in 86 for my childhood idol. I thought that was probably his career worst, but it actually wasn't He fumbled 14 times in 1983. That's insane for someone who was about to be Super Bowl MVP later that year.

Bitter loss for the Raiders. Chiefs, moving up. The age of big shoulderpads and hard hitting. Was no longer uncommon to see 300 pound linemen in the 80s.

The Chiefs made the playoffs in 1986

I believe John Mackovic only coached one more game after this before accepting the Longhorns job, leaving special teams coach Frank Gansz to coach the Wild Card game that year because all the Chiefs points in week 16 were scored by special teams. Then of course Gansz won the job for the next two years.
