Las Vegas Raiders 2020 Opponent Review: Kansas City Chiefs
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders kick off their AFC West slate against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5 of the 2020 NFL season.
Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs won their first Super Bowl in 50 years, coming back from a late deficit to topple the San Francisco 49ers. As they enter the 2020 season, they are once again one of the better teams in football, and will be a tough early-season matchup for the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5.
The Raiders have not beaten the Chiefs since 2017, when Derek Carr orchestrated an incredible fourth quarter comeback in primetime, before hitting Michael Crabtree for the game-winner with no time left on the clock. Since then, it has been all Chiefs, something the Raiders are hoping to change this season.
Carr has been known to struggle in cold weather, and luckily for the Silver and Black, the first meeting between these two teams, in Kansas City, will happen early. Later on in the season, the Raiders will welcome the Chiefs to Allegiant Stadium, once again in primetime.
Let us take a look at the Chiefs, their additions and subtractions, and how the Raiders can beat them in 2020.
