Tonight's MNF game between the Chiefs and the Raiders is a classic lesson in why you should never stop watching an NFL game at halftime, no matter how horrible the first half is.

The first half was about as dull as you can get, ending in a 10-0 score in favor of the Chiefs. The Raiders couldn't do anything. Neither team could really. Gannon threw for less than 60 yards. Fortunately, he was injured in the last drive of the half and into the came infrequently used 3rd year backup QB, Marques Tuiasosopo. That's Samoan QB Marques Tuiasosopo, formerly of the University of Washington and the son of NFL great nose tackle Manu Tuiasosopo.

Marques shook off the cobwebs, threw for over 200 yards and brought the Raiders to the brink of victory. Down one touchdown and starting on their on 6 yard line with no timeouts and less than 2 minutes to play, Tuiasosopo drove the team down the field win pinpoint passes to Rice and Porter. The last play of the game was a bullet of a pass to Tim Brown who was stopped on the 1 yard line, just short of the endzone and a tying score. Heartbreaking!

It was a great second half, but an unfortunate result for the Raiders who now fall to 2-5 while the Chiefs march on undefeated. The worst part about the game is that the Raiders probably would have won if not for a fumbled punt that led directly to a towndown. The best part was the arrival of Tuiasosopo as the heir apparent to the Oakland QB job.

Hopefully the Raiders can regroup. At least they have Detroit to beat up on next week.
