Chiefs-Raiders game preview:
The Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL’s lone undefeated team, are looking for their third 7-0 start in franchise history.
The 2003 and 2013 Chiefs both accomplished that feat.
To do so, the Chiefs will have to go through the team that last defeated them, dating back to last season.
The Las Vegas Raiders spoiled the Chiefs’ Christmas in 2023, winning 20-14 at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs got the last laugh, however, winning the Super Bowl in Allegiant Stadium, home of the Raiders.
Newly acquired wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is set for his Kansas City debut.
