The Las Vegas Raiders look to move to 4-0 in the division Sunday night, and here are three members of the Silver and Black to keep an eye on.
The Kansas City Chiefs come to town to face off with the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football in Sin City, and the last time these two teams met, we saw the Raiders hand the Chiefs their first loss, beating them 40-32. Not only did the Raiders hand the Chiefs their first loss of the season, and only loss to date, Jeff Heath provided Patrick Mahomes with his first and only interception of the season, nearly taking it back for a touchdown.
There is no love loss between these two teams who have been division rivals for decades. Though the Chiefs have essentially dominated the rivalry as of recently, the Raiders big win in Kansas City went a long way in sparking that fire back up.
Jon Gruden cashing in on the chance to take a few victory laps around Arrowhead added a little extra fuel to that fire, and plenty of bulletin board material for the media.
A big win this week at home against the Chiefs would go a long way in not only their run for a playoff spot, but in validating the recent love the Raiders have gotten from the national media. Pulling off a second win and sweeping the Chiefs is no easy task to say the least, and it is going to take a perfect all around team effort to secure a win.
In order for that to happen, it’ll have to start with who I believe are the three players to watch out for in the Silver and Black.
