AFC West 2019 Week 11 preview and predictions: Raiders continue to roll
By Brad Weiss
Kansas City Chiefs at Los Angeles Chargers (MNF)
In the only AFC West battle on the slate in Week 11, the Kansas City Chiefs will head West to take on the Los Angeles Chargers under the bright lights of Monday Night Football. Los Angeles was one of the hottest teams in football before losing to the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night inside the Coliseum, and will face a Chiefs team coming off a stunning loss at the hands of the Tennessee Titans in Week 10.
The issue with the Chiefs has been their defense, as they certainly have enough firepower on the offensive side of the ball with guys like Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill. If they are going to come away with the road victory inside the division on Monday, they will have to find a way to stop both Austin Ekeler and Melvin Gordon, two running backs who could shred a Chiefs defense that has had their issues stopping the run this season.
The Chiefs will be looking to make a statement in primetime to cap the Week 11 slate, and I believe they get it done against a Chargers team that has been on quite a roller coaster this season. Mahomes has enough magic in his right arm to win this one on the road, and send the Chiefs into their bye week with a winning taste in their mouths.
