The Las Vegas Raiders are currently in Chiefs Week, which is always an exciting week for Raider Nation. Undoubtedly it is an anxious and stressful week as well. Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Raiders are playing the Chiefs on Prime Time.
Stop me if you’ve felt this before: nervousness and excitement all boiled up into one.
The Raiders are coming off a big win against AFC West rival the Denver Broncos last week, after starting the season winless. The victory couldn’t have come at a better time, with the offense and defense playing well as a whole for the first time this season.
The Chiefs are coming off of a big Week 4 win as well after having a letdown loss to the Colts the week before. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Ried went out and put up 41 points on a Buccaneers defense that is considered one of, if not the best in the league.
If the Raiders are going to come out with a win this week and shock the AFC West, they are going to need a few guys to continue to step up and play like they did last week. Here are my three Raiders players to watch heading into Monday Night.
