Notes:  In a typical back and forth, heated AFC West rivalry, Kansas City sets a new record for the number of penalties drawn in a season, besting the previous mark set by Oakland.  The fans in the Black Hole resort to throwing debris at the players and draw a warning from referee Mike Carey.  The Raiders lose backup QB Wade Wilson and the third-stringer to groin injuries, and must resort to sending in primary QB Jeff George, himself recovering from a groin injury.  Derrick Thomas gets the Chiefs’ first defensive TD of the season in what proves to be Marty Schottenheimer’s last game as head coach of the Chiefs.  This copy is from a tape that had some problems near the end of the fourth quarter, but otherwise is good quality.

Thanks Jim!
