Derek Carr vs the Chiefs Defense

The Chiefs dominated the Jaguars last week, but Jacksonville did find success in the passing game, even with their backup quarterback. The Jaguars threw three touchdowns against Kansas City, one from Nick Foles and two from Gardner Minshaw.

With the way Derek Carr tore up the Broncos defense, expect Carr to have a big game against Kansas City. This game will surely be a shootout, as the Raiders have too many weapons on offense for the Chiefs to keep up with.

If Gardner Minshaw can go 22/25 for 275 yards and two touchdowns without playing the full game, imagine what Derek Carr will do. The Chiefs lack the talent to keep up with Tyrell Williams, Darren Waller, and the rest of the Raiders offense, and Carr and the Raiders offense will role into this game with a ton of confidence.
