The Oakland Raiders will head to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs for first place in the AFC West this Sunday. Here is how you can catch all the action.
Last Sunday, the Oakland Raiders went on the road and had a really tough time against the New York Jets inside MetLife Staidum. Coming off three straight wins at home, maybe the Raiders were in line for a let-down game, but as they look ahead to this Sunday, a much more talented team awaits them.
The Kansas City Chiefs will play host to the Silver and Black in Week 13, and are coming off their bye week after squeezing out a victory against the Los Angeles Chargers in Mexico City in Week 11. In that game, the Chiefs looked very beatable, but the defense forced Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers to make mistake after mistake.
On Sunday, the Chiefs will look to try to do the same to Derek Carr, who has never beaten Kansas City on the road. This Raiders team has been much better than advertised heading into the season, and with a win on Sunday, they can erase the memory of last Sunday, and cruise into a tie for first place in the AFC West.
This battle will all go down inside Arrowhead Stadium, which is one of the better home-field advantages in football. Kansas City has not looked elite for most of the season, but Patrick Mahomes is an elite talent at quarterback, and should have his way against this Raiders secondary if they play the way they did against the Jets.
Here is how you can watch all of the action Sunday.

Look for rookie running back Josh Jacobs to get back on track in this one, as he should be able to exploit a Chiefs defensive line that is in no way as talented at stopping the run as the Jets were. Carr should also find his spots, as the Chiefs secondary has been very beatable this season, but can this Raiders defense do anything against Patrick Mahomes and this Chiefs offense.
Coming into 2019, nobody expected the Raiders to be in this position, and it is always an exciting matchup when these two teams get together. Unfortunately for Oakland, they have not had the answer in Kansas City for quite some time, and it could be a long day Sunday if they play the way they did against the Jets in Week 12.
