The Chiefs beat the Raiders in Oakland on Sunday. There were several tidbits and pieces that came out of that game. Here they are in no particular order.

- There was a protester on the Bart walkway. She was protesting the use of Native Americans as mascots. In an ironic twist, the Raiders were celebrating Native American Heritage.
- Michael Bush became the Raiders first 100 yard rusher since he accomplished that feat during the final game of the 2008 season.
- Jamaal Charles continued the tradition of second string running backs running for 100 yards against the Silver and Black.
- This was the third of four AFL legacy games for the Raiders. Thier last one will be in Dallas on Thanksgiving. In the last two, they have worn their regular black jerseys, and they sport their old logos on their helmets.
- The Chiefs looked odd wearing a helmet that had the state of Texas on it.
- JaMarcus Russell has now been benched in two straight home games.
- Mario Henderson had one of his worst games as a pro. He was called for three holding penalties with two accepted.

.....and Darius Heyward-bay looks like a 4 year old trying to catch a football.....and Jhonnie lee higgins looks aweful. What is it with these guys? They need less names and A LOT more catches. Still no Walker. May as well release him, he's just taking up space. I was happy that we didn't pick Crabtree when he was holding out. Thought it was something we finally did that worked out. Now that he is playing I see that I was horribly wrong I was wrong. If we had Crabtree yesterday we probably win.
