4 keys to victory for the Raiders vs. the Chiefs in Week 11

Attack banged up Chiefs offensive line

Going into this AFC West battle, the Kansas City Chiefs have their issues along the offensive line, and that is something the Raiders are going to have to take advantage of. Sure, Las Vegas is missing two starts in Trent Brown and Richie Incognito, but they have dealt with a makeshift offensive line all season long, so this is nothing new for them.

Kansas City will be without their star right tackle Mitchell Schwartz, who was put on injured reserve this week. In addition, Mike Remmers is dealing with a rib injury, and was listed as questionable for the contest, so even if he does go, he is going to be limited.

Clelin Ferrell will miss the game for the Raiders, and he has done a tremendous job for the Silver and Black up front in 2020. However, he has not been very active in terms of getting to the quarterback, so expect Maxx Crosby, David Irving, Carl Nassib, and Arden Key to find spaces when they blitz, making Mahomes uncomfortable, just as the Raiders did in Week 5.
