  "account": "Colin Cowherd expressed surprise at the Las Vegas Raiders' performance in their Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite ultimately falling short with a 30-27 defeat, Cowherd felt the game demonstrated that the franchise is trending in the right direction. Kansas City clinched a perfect 4-0 record following the loss, which marked the Raiders' first as a team.\n\nCowherd, speaking on Monday's The Herd, highlighted the Raiders' best performance in a decade. The Raiders led 19-17 before the Chiefs capitalized on a fumble recovery and touchdown in the fourth quarter, followed by another touchdown by Kenneth Walker. The Raiders answered with a 65-yard touchdown drive, resulting in a two-point conversion, before forcing a turnover on downs.\n\nCowherd initially expected the Raiders to crumble, but was impressed when they mounted a comeback. He credited the team's resilience to head coach Klint Kubiak and the emerging \"new\" Raiders culture. Despite the loss, Cowherd was encouraged by the team's determination and seemed to sense they were playing at a higher level than their record indicated.",
