The Raiders may have lost on Monday night, but going for two was the correct decision

Josh McDaniels was correct when he went for the 2-point conversion late in the game against Kansas City.

The Las Vegas Raiders were winless in their previous three games and had a big lead on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs. The type of play coaches need to do to change the script on a season is going all in on what appears to be a failed campaign.

It's not safe to have a one-point lead with over four minutes to go. The lead is not safe in Kansas City as the Chiefs have shown. Since Texas Tech's best player became the team's best player, the rowdy crowd has experienced less defeat. In his second year as a starter, he let it be known that no early lead is too much as the Chiefs overcame a 24-0 deficit to beat the Houston Texans in the playoffs. The Chiefs overcame a 10-point deficit in the next game to get to the Superbowl. In order to win their first championship since Super Bowl IV, the Chiefs had to overcome a 10 point deficit against the 49ers.

Kicking the extra point to tie the game still leaves them in the late game Patrick Mahomes scenario, but makes it harder to get out of the game in regulation if the Chiefs score. A field goal and a field goal are tied. The Raiders went back down seven after the Chiefs scored a touchdown. There is a chance that the Raiders will finally stop the Chiefs. The defense of the Raiders was strong in the first half.

The Raiders had a two-point conversion try fail, but the defense forced a punt in the second half after struggling in the first half. The Raiders were in range to kick a game winning field goal. Unfortunately for them, Adams juggled a pass while heading out of bounds, there was questionable contact by the defense on a fourth down play, and the Chiefs are now 4-1 and the Raiders have the inverse record.

The goal of Mcdaniels was to apply some pressure to the all-world Chiefs who were scoring at will. After the Chiefs punted on the next drive, you got a win for believing in karma. The game was put in the hands of the offense with a chance to win for the Raiders.

The best team in the league was pushed to the brink on the road by a 1-3 team. The decision to go for two in the fourth quarter doesn't deserve to be criticized.

Any team with its back to the wall should go for the win in order to change the course of its season. Josh has been wrong a lot this season, but he was correct last night.
