Madden Simulation: Raider Week

STOP!If you want to watch the simulation without spoilers, start the above video — or if you can’t see it, .Here’s what happened in our simulation:First quarter The Kansas City Chiefs ’ first drive ended with a 38-yard field goal from Harrison Butker.

On the Las Vegas Raiders ’ first drive, L’Jarius Sneed’s third-and-10 pass interference call at the Raiders’ 28 could have been a game-changer, but the Raiders only scored three on that drive due to Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis sacking Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell on third down.

The Chiefs would score the first touchdown with a 2-yard run from Isiah Pacheco.

End of the first quarter: Chiefs 10, Raiders 3.

Second quarter The Chiefs would score at the beginning of the quarter due to a perfect setup from safety Justin Reid. Reid intercepted O’Connell, which led to another Pacheco touchdown run.

The Chiefs scored yet another touchdown from Mecole Hardman’s 8-yard reception, but the bigger story is how the Chiefs were getting down the field. Before the half, Travis Kelce finished with six receptions for 120 yards. Mahomes’ connection with Kelce was the reason for their halftime lead.

End of the second quarter: Chiefs 24, Raiders 6

Third quarter With Nick Bolton absent, Drue Tranquill stepped up on defense. After a completion from O’Connell to Davante Adams, Tranquill tackled and punched the ball out to cause a fumble.

The Chiefs ended up scoring a touchdown off the turnover via Kardarius Toney.

End of the third quarter: Chiefs 38, Raiders 9

Fourth quarter The Raiders scored their first touchdown of the game — but it took seven minutes off the clock. On the scoring drive, the Raiders converted a third-and-17. The pass was to the rookie tight end Michael Mayer.
