ALAMEDA, Calif. -- A thorough beating by the Kansas City Chiefs did little to change coach Jack Del Rios opinion of his Oakland Raiders team.We have a real good team, he said Monday. Had a bad day yesterday.Boy, did they ever.For the first time since Del Rios first game as coach, the Raiders (4-2) never really had a chance late as they played their first fourth quarter without being within one score at any point since a 33-13 loss to Cincinnati to open the 2015 season.The defense got gashed by Spencer Ware and Alex Smith in the latest in a run of bad performances, Derek Carr and the offense managed just one field goal after scoring a touchdown on the opening drive, usually reliable kicker Sebastian Janikowski missed a 52-yard field goal and the punt coverage unit allowed Tyreek Hill to have a 50-yard return that set up a Kansas City score.Add it all up and the Raiders fell 26-10 to the Chiefs and failed in their opportunity to take sole possession of first place in the AFC West.When things dont go the way you want, each man looks and sees what he can do better, Del Rio said. Were going to ask each guy, every play, every coach to do something, do one thing better this week than you did last week.Del Rio said he believes it is easier to make corrections following a loss instead of a win, when players might get complacent.It all starts with a defense that is on pace to allow the most yards per play (6.9) in the NFL since the 1970 merger. It has been an equal opportunity defense that ranks 30th in yards per carry allowed (4.81) and 31st in yards per pass attempt (8.9).Del Rio said the issues start with communication: getting the play from the sideline to the huddle quickly enough and then passing that information on to the 11 defenders on the field. The Raiders are using three rookie starters on defense -- defensive lineman Jihad Ward, linebacker Cory James and safety Karl Joseph -- and three other starters in their first year with the team, possibly adding to the issues.When that cleans up, it will alleviate a lot of the issues were having, Del Rio said. Thats why I remain very confident in this football team and our ability to grow as the year goes on. There are young players. Thats not an alibi, thats just reality. I think as they gain confidence, theyll continue to grow and our communication will be better and better.Despite the myriad problems, the Raiders head into a two-week road trip to Florida tied for first with Denver, a half-game ahead of the Chiefs. The offense has frequently bailed out the struggling defense with Carr leading second-half comebacks to beat New Orleans, Baltimore and San Diego.Carr just couldnt deliver on Sunday , committing two turnovers in the loss.We cant dismiss the fact that yesterday didnt go the way we wanted, Del Rio said. But we are after six games sitting here 4-2 tied atop our division.Game notes DL Mario Edwards Jr. (hip) will start running on the side this week and will return to practice for the first time since training camp once he is cleared by doctors. ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- By just about any measure, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had as good of an offseason as anyone.It began when he reached a five-year, $46 million contract extension that included $20 million in guarantees -- a deal signed while he was in Hawaii, no less. It continued with the filming of a reality TV show in which 50 women tried to impress the 27-year-old bachelor enough to win his love.His season is turning out to be pretty good, too.Kelce had eight catches for a career-best 140 yards in Sundays win over Atlanta, which allowed Kansas City to remain a game behind Oakland in the AFC West. It was the former third-round picks third straight 100-yard receiving effort, one shy of the franchise record set by Tony Gonzalez in 2000. Hell have a chance to match it in a pivotal Thursday night showdown with the Raiders .The guys so unique. One of the most unique tight ends in the NFL, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. I think of what he can do -- he has so many different strengths.Most of them are in the passing game, where his hands and ability to run essentially turns him into an extra wide receiver. That has proven to be critical the past few weeks while Jeremy Maclin, the Chiefs top wide receiver, has been dealing with a lingering groin injury.His big-play ability was evident right from the start in Atlanta, when Kelce hauled in back-to-back catches of 21 and 35 yards to help the Chiefs answer the Falcons opening-drive touchdown.For a big guy to have the kind of vision he does, you saw it on the opening drive, Smith said. The first catch, to go up and get that in traffic, and then he beats the safety one-on-one (one the next catch) to get us down to the goal line. Obviously, hes a heck of a player.He even got props from the safety he beat on that play, Keanu Neal.Hes a technician, smart with his routes, and he knows how to play the game, Neal said after the game. Hes a great route-runner and can play ball. Thats why hes a Pro Bowler.Its also why the Chiefs have begun to target him more often.He was only targeted three times apiece in back-to-back games against Oakland and New Orleans earlier this season, catchinng five passes for 57 yards combined.dddddddddddd But he has been targeted at least eight times each of the past three weeks, including 15 targets in his 101-yard effort two weeks ago in Denver.The result has been 23 catches for 349 yards over the past three games .Normally in big games, your good players show up, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. Hes always going to be a part of our game plan. Wed be foolish not to make him a part. So then you have to kind of overcome the other teams plan and try to do something else if they double him. Weve moved him all over the place, so were lucky he can do that.Indeed, Kelce is comfortable lining up in the traditional tight end position at the end of the line, but hes just as relaxed lining up in the slot or even wide in formations.The most impressive thing to me is in the pass game, how he matches up on different people, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. You have coverage on him, you think you have the right leverage and then he can stick a foot in the ground and change directions. Thats really hard for a big guy to do.Perhaps most impressive is that Kelce has managed to maintain his focus and drive, despite the flashy new contract, all those swooning women and his burgeoning superstardom. He is rarely in the locker room when reporters are around, and he tends to deflect questions that dont have anything to do with football.Good luck trying to get him to talk about his show, Catching Kelce.Which is perfectly fine with the Chiefs. They just want him to keep catching passes.Game notes WR Jeremy Maclin, who has missed four games with a groin injury, practiced Tuesday and could be available. I know hes feeling better, Reid said. Were optimistic. ... The forecast for Thursday night calls for temperatures in the teens with a wind chill that could approach single digits. Its going to be freezing, most definitely, said WR Tyreek Hill, a Florida native.
