OAKLAND, Calif. -- As the Oakland defense struggled through the first five weeks of the season, Derek Carr and the offense managed to repeatedly pick the team up and help the Raiders get off to their best start in 14 years.When Carr and the offense struggled to move the ball against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Raiders had no chance.Carr committed two turnovers and led the Raiders to just one score after the opening drive and the Chiefs picked apart Oaklands defense for a 26-10 victory Sunday.It hurts man, Carr said. We didnt do good enough at all. That was bad. That was a bad performance by us.The Raiders (4-2) entered the game on pace to allow the most yards per play by a team since the 1970 merger, but still managed to be in first place thanks to an offense that always kept them in games.Carr led second-half comebacks against New Orleans, Baltimore and San Diego, but couldnt do much of anything against the Chiefs (3-2) after throwing a 3-yard touchdown pass to Andre Holmes on the opening drive of the game.I thought we got outcoached and outplayed, coach Jack Del Rio said. Take your pick.The Raiders managed to score just once on their final nine drives. Carr missed an open Michael Crabtree on a deep pass on the second drive that turned into an interception by Marcus Peters.Sebastian Janikowski missed a 52-yard field goal the next drive and Oakland was stopped on fourth down when Carr threw incomplete to Seth Roberts the following drive when Del Rio opted against another long field goal.A 25-second drive for a field goal to end the first half seemed to give the Raiders a lift, but Oakland managed just three punts, one lost fumble and a turnover on downs in a scoreless second half.Carr finished 22 for 34 for 225 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He was hurt by a pair of third-down drops by Seth Roberts and Jalen Richard but wasnt sharp at all.After Carr connected nine times with Amari Cooper in the first half, the Chiefs adjusted their defense and limited Cooper to one catch in the second half.The running game managed just 65 yards on 17 carries with rookies DeAndre Washington and Richard unable to carry the load with Latavius Murray sidelined by a toe injury.That wasnt nearly enough to overcome a defense that allowed 183 yards rushing, gave up more than 390 yards of offense (406) for the sixth straight week, and forced just three punts and no turnovers.We go over this every week, linebacker Bruce Irvin said. Its the same. I dont know what else to tell you. Kansas City had a great game plan, hats off to them. They did a lot of window dressing. They did a lot of stuff, disguising stuff to make us believe one thing and they actually did another thing.The defensive performance has put heavy pressure on Carr and the offense all season.Carr downplayed that factor, saying his focus is on each individual drive and play and not on how the defense is playing overall.I really dont have time to think of those kinds of things, Carr said. My mindset is so focused on my job. Im just focused on that so I really dont think about that.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Jordan 1 Uomo Saldi .

CHICAGO -- Seattle manager Scott Servais liked what he saw from starting pitcher Taijuan Walker. Hes still waiting for his offense to break out.Walker allowed four runs in 7 1/3 innings as the Mariners lost 4-1 to the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Seattle totaled seven runs in the final three games of the series.Servais said before the game hed like to see the offense get going and consistently score five or more runs.Youve got to get hits with runners in scoring position, Servais said. Our pitching was really good today. I cant say enough about Taijuan.Walker (4-9) has allowed eight runs in 13 innings over his last two starts since returning from a demotion to Triple-A Tacoma. He is 2-7 since he went 2-0 with a 1.44 ERA in April.He threw the ball outstanding, really good effort, good stuff, Servais said. He was really on top of his game, about as good as weve seen him since early in the year.Carlos Rodon pitched into the seventh inning, Justin Morneau had a two-run single and Melky Cabrera drove in a run and scored twice to lead the White Sox, who took three of four against the Mariners.Jose Abreu also drove in a run for Chicago, which has won six of eight.Robinson Cano hit a solo homer, his 30th, and Kyle Seager had three hits for the Mariners, who are three games back in the wild-card race.You want to be there as a hitter, but the situation were in right now, it doesnt matter how good I do or how good I played in the game, if we wouldnt win, Cano said.Rodon (5-8) allowed the run and five hits in six-plus innings before giving way to the bullpen. Rodon is 3-0 with a 1.47 ERA in his last five starts.Carlos has really evolved, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. As he goes along, he just seems to be getting better. Theres more confidence there and hes learned a lot about himself as well.David Robertson got the last three outs for his 333rd save in 39 chances.dddddddddddd.Chicago center fielder Adam Eaton left the game due to a bruised forearm in the fifth -- an inning after being hit by a pitch. X-rays were negative and he is listed as day-to-day.Walker was perfect through three innings, but then started the fourth by hitting Eaton. One out later, Cabrera doubled to put runners on second and third. Abreu was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Morneau followed with a single to left for a 2-0 lead.I really didnt feel like (I had) my best fastball today, Walker said.He hit three batters.When you throw in, its going to happen, Walker said. You kind of have to make them uncomfortable too at the same time. Obviously (Im) not trying to hit a batter, but trying to get it in there to get them off the plate, get them off the fastball.Chicago added a two runs in the eighth on an RBI triple by Cabrera and a sacrifice fly by Abreu.BIG NUMBERCano has reached 30 home runs for the second time in his career. He hit 33 in 2009.Hes had a phenomenal year, really from the get-go, from the opening series of the season all the way through, Servais said.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: 3B Seager (bruised right foot) was in the lineup for a second straight day after missing the previous three games. He looked fine, Servais said. Is he 100 percent? Probably not.UP NEXTMariners: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (14-9, 3.81 ERA), whos gone at least seven innings in 12 of his 26 starts, faces RHP Yu Darvish (4-3, 2.91) Monday in the opener of a three-games series at Texas.White Sox: RHP James Shields (5-16, 5.98 ERA) looks to rebound Monday in the opener of a three-game series at Detroit after going 0-4 with a 13.95 ERA in his last five starts.
