The Oakland Raiders won again at Arrowhead, beating the Kansas City Chiefs 26-16.

The Raiders had a +10.7 advantage in The Trench Counter, with a +3 differential in the takeaway column. Oakland had a +4 edge in Total Rushes/Completions.

Carson Palmer went 14-for-28 for 209 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, while putting the Raiders in Sebastian Janikowski's field goal range four times.

Darren McFadden rushed 29 times for 114 yards.

The Raiders knocked Brady Quinn out of the game early, forcing the Chiefs to go back to Matt Cassel. Quinn and Cassel each threw an interception, while both Cassel and Javier Arenas lost a fumble.

Brady Quinn will start Week 8 for the Kansas City Chiefs when they play the Raiders.

"My biggest deal was my gut telling me that I needed to impact the team by changing the dynamic," Romeo Crennel said.

"I am not saying Matt Cassel is the reason we are where we are," Crennel said, "because the stroke of that brush is a broad stroke."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers improved to 2-3 with a 38-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Buccaneers had a +25.8 advantage in The Trench Counter, averaging 9.1 yards per play compared to just 3.8 for the Chiefs. Tampa Bay, however, had a -13 deficit in Total Rushes/Completions as the offense needed very few plays to move the ball.

Josh Freeman went 15-for-26 for 328 yards, three touchdowns (two to Vincent Jackson) and one interception.

Doug Martin and LeGarrette Blount combined to give the Buccaneers a running game that rushed 145 yards on 24 total carries.

Brady Quinn went 22-for-38 for 180 yards and two interceptions while filling in for Matt Cassel.

Jamaal Charles was held to just 40 yards on 12 carries.

Scott Pioli has been offered an extension to remain general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Pioli has been GM of the Chiefs since the 2009 season.

No deal has been reached, but the offer is a strong sign of support for Pioli, who has been under fire recently.

Brady Quinn will start at quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6 against the Buccaneers.

Matt Cassel is out with a concussion that was suffered last week against the Ravens.

The Chiefs have a bye following this week's game against the Buccaneers.

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 9-6 in a battle of field goals.

The Ravens had a +6.5 advantage in The Trench Counter, winning the turnover differential +2 and recording nearly half as many penalty yards. The Chiefs had a +25 edge in Total Rushes/Completions, rushing 50 times in total.

Joe Flacco was just 13-for-27 for 187 yards and one interception, though he did pick up a key 3rd and long on the ground late in the game.

Ray Rice rushed 17 times for 102 yards.

Matt Cassel went 9-for-15 for 92 yards, two interceptions and a lost fumble, while Brady Quinn finished the game.

Jamaal Charles rushed 30 times for 140 yards.

An often overlooked aspect of football is to establish an early lead. Rather than worrying about establishing the pass or the run, simply getting an early lead allows the specific elements of the game to fall into place.

The Texans, Falcons, Bengals and Chargers lead in first half point differential.

The bottom-five are the Chiefs, Jaguars, Lions, Titans and Panthers.

Matt Cassel will start at quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5 against the Ravens, but Romeo Crennel also said that Brady Quinn may receive some starter's work at practice.

“At some point, as a coach, you go through and you see what’s happening in the game and how a guy is reacting and how he’s responding to what’s happening in the game,” Crennel said. “If you feel he’s inept, constantly making poor decisions, bad choices, then that’s when you move on from him and give someone else a chance.”

Cassel has committed 10 turnovers in the Chiefs’ four games.

The Kansas City Chiefs are 1-3 and the organization is losing confidence in Matt Cassel.

Cassel has five touchdown passes and three interceptions this season despite playing fairly average or below average defenses over the first four games.

"Look, there's a big reason why they went after Peyton Manning as hard as they did this offseason," said a source with knowledge of Chiefs president Scott Pioli's thinking. "What you're seeing from Cassel is pretty much what was expected. He's a really nice backup, not a starter."
