from The Associated PressChiefs looking up at Raiders headed into 1st meeting

(AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)The Kansas City Chiefs find themselves in an unusual spot headed into their first meeting of the season against their fiercest AFC West rivals.
For the first time since 2016, the Chiefs (5-4) are looking up at the Raiders (5-3) in the standings headed into their meeting on Sunday night.
Kansas City has dominated this division for the previous four seasons, and the rivalry since Andy Reid arrived as coach in 2013. But with the defense getting repeatedly gashed early in the season and Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered offense struggling the past few weeks, the Chiefs look nothing like the team that has represented the AFC in the past two Super Bowls.
“Obviously, it’s been bad these last few weeks, haven’t been the way that you’re accustomed to us being,” Mahomes said of the offense. “But it’s no different than what we were doing at the beginning of the year when we were having success. If I had to bet on it, I’d bet we’d kind of figure it out here soon, and hopefully this is the first week of taking that step.”
The Chiefs have been held to 36 points the past three games, marking the first time in Mahomes’ career that they failed to top 20 points in three straight games.
But they still managed to win the last two to remain in the playoff hunt as a defense that gave up at least 29 points in each of the first five games has become a bit more stingy.
“We’ve learned how to win games even when it’s not pretty,” Mahomes said. “Offensively we want to play better, but at the end of the day, I’d rather win and not play great offensively than like earlier in the season when we played great offensively and lost.”
While the issues for Kansas City have been on the field, the Raiders have been dealing with major off-field problems.
Coach Jon Gruden resigned last month after offensive emails were revealed. The Raiders then cut ties with both of their 2020 first-round picks in less than a week with receiver Henry Ruggs III released after being charged in a fatal DUI crash, and cornerback Damon Arnette cut after making a video in which he brandished a gun and threatened to kill someone.
That has put a heavy burden on interim coach Rich Bisaccia and the team leaders.
“I mean it feels like there has been something every week and you don’t even want to go on a plane flight or check your phone, let alone have something else happen,” quarterback Derek Carr said.

The absence of Ruggs was notable for the Raiders’ offense last week. Carr didn’t push the ball downfield without his fastest receiver, leading to the move to sign DeSean Jackson. The 34-year-old Jackson has been one of the game’s best deep threats over his career but hasn’t had more than 15 catches in a season since 2018.
“He’s very fast. He can still run,” Carr said after his first practice with Jackson. “And that definitely showed up today.”
MR. INSIDE/OUTSIDE
ADVERTISEMENTThe Chiefs toyed with using Pro Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones at defensive end this season, but the experiment has produced dismal results. But with the acquisition of Melvin Ingram from Pittsburgh, the Chiefs have a capable pass rusher opposite Frank Clark, and that in turn has allowed Jones to kick back inside to his natural position.
“Chris just wants to do what’s best and help out wherever he can,” Reid said. “I appreciate his attitude on that.”
HOLD THE LINE
A bright spot for the Raiders the past two weeks has been improved play on the offensive line and in the running game. Las Vegas has given up just one one sack in those games and topped 100 yards rushing in both contests after failing to do that in five of the first six games. Center Andre James has improved after a rough start and rookie Alex Leatherwood has played better since being moved from right tackle to guard.
“They’ve certainly improved,” Bisaccia said. “But I think we’re all working on improving day in and day out. What can we do better tomorrow that we didn’t do today? And certainly, they are microcosm of our improvement throughout the entire team.”
CURLY AND THE REDHEAD
Reid and Hall of Fame coach Curly Lambeau are tied for fifth in career regular-season wins after the Chiefs beat the Packers — coincidentally enough — last week. It was meaningful for Reid in part because of his years as an assistant in Green Bay.
“When they start naming fields after you, that means you did a pretty good job,” Reid said. “You couldn’t help but learn about him when you were there, especially for the number of years that I was there. It’s an honor. It’s hard to believe, but it’s an honor to have your name be mentioned close to this guy. So yeah, I’m humbled about it and honored.”
5 things to watch as the Chiefs play the Raiders
from ArrowheadPride.comKansas City makes a business trip to Las Vegas, hoping to climb back into AFC contention.

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsAfter nine weeks and only one divisional matchup, the Kansas City Chiefs (5-4) will play four AFC West opponents over their next five games. They’ll start that stretch with a road game against the Las Vegas Raiders (5-3), who are tied for first place in the division.
In this Week 10 Sunday Night Football matchup, the Chiefs are favored by 2.5 points, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
With a victory over their hated rival, the Chiefs can extend their winning streak to three games — and give them an edge over the Raiders in the division race. Meanwhile, a loss would set them back to two games behind Las Vegas — and possibly the Los Angeles Chargers — with both teams holding tiebreakers over Kansas City.
I have five things to watch in this crucial game.
1. Mismatches in pass protection
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22125782/1287143117.jpg)
Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesThe Chiefs’ pass protection has improved over the last few weeks — and so has quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ pocket presence. Unfortunately, starting right tackle Lucas Niang was injured last Sunday — and backup Mike Remmers has yet to come back from his own injury. Both have now been ruled out for this game, which points to Andrew Wylie starting at right tackle.
Not to be dramatic, but this will lead to a colossal mismatch on that side of the line. Raiders’ defensive end Maxx Crosby is the NFL’s leader in pressures and quarterback hits — and has wreaked havoc on opposing offenses all season with his incredible length and powerful hand usage. Wylie will undoubtedly have trouble handling Crosby’s explosiveness and strength.
On the other side, Orlando Brown Jr. has lately looked better in his pass sets — but Raiders’ edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue is the type of player that has given Brown the most significant trouble. He wins with speed around the arc — and can dip and bend under Brown’s tall frame. Ngakoue currently has the league’s 12th-most pressures.
To help, the Chiefs will need plenty of chips from tight ends — which could disrupt Kansas City’s ability to get Travis Kelce into his routes quickly. The Raiders’ pass rush could have a hugely negative impact on the Chiefs’ game plan.
2. Attacking Derek Carr without the blitz
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22071399/1287198296.jpg)
Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesRaiders’ quarterback Derek Carr might be having the best season of his career. He’s one of the league’s most productive quarterbacks — largely because of his ability to find an open man while he is being blitzed.
Carr averages 9.9 yards per attempt when blitzed — the sixth-highest rate among qualified quarterbacks this season — and averages 11.2 yards depth per target; that rate is the highest in the NFL. He’s more willing to hit the deep shot that becomes available when a defense blitzes and is forced to be in coverages with fewer than two deep safeties.
The Chiefs are now blitzing at the second-highest rate in the league, so they may think about dialing that back. More and more often, their defensive front has been creating pressure on its own — and Carr has still struggled to maneuver in pressure that doesn’t come at the expense of a player in coverage.
On top of all that, the Raiders’ offensive line has been subpar this season. The Chiefs’ defensive line could be a significant factor in this game.

3. Relying on running the ball — again:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23010163/usa_today_15225745.jpg)
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsFor the last two weeks, I’ve wanted to see the Chiefs trust the running game more than they typically do. They’ve still sometimes shied away from it too much — but in this matchup, there’s even more reason to emphasize it.
The Las Vegas run defense is allowing 4.6 yard per carry, the league’s 28th-ranked rate. They’ve struggled to be stout all season; they’ve allowed at least 133 rushing yards in six of their eight games.
Kansas City needs to take advantage of that soft spot — which will also help the offensive tackles in their battle with an effective duo of edge rushers. That doesn’t mean constantly calling zone runs, which is the Chiefs’ default approach. Instead, they should lean more on gap runs.
A specific gap run they should try is counter left. That would not only negate Crosby’s effect on a play by putting him on the back side of the run. It also puts right guard Trey Smith in position to kick out Ngakoue — who tends to fly upfield and set himself up for a kick out. And during his phenomenal rookie year, pulling has been one of Smith’s strengths.
Running the ball — specifically with counter or power plays — puts the Kansas City offensive line in the best position to succeed.
4. Accounting for Darren Waller at all times
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23010209/1287151201.jpg)
Photo by Chris Unger/Getty ImagesThe Las Vegas tight end is as significant a mismatch as any receiving weapon is in the NFL. The Raiders will move him all over the formation and get him the ball in different ways — and the Chiefs need to be proactive about how they deal with that.
Especially with the release of wide receiver Henry Ruggs III, Waller will likely be Carr’s favorite target. That means the quarterback will be looking for him in important spots like third down or other obvious passing situations — and Kansas City has to be proactive about avoiding a matchup with safety Daniel Sorensen or linebacker Ben Niemann in coverage.
Unfortunately, the Chiefs will frequently be in their dime personnel in those scenarios, which will put those two players on the field. So the team must have a plan — such as using cornerback Charvarius Ward in a more unique role or covering Waller with double-teams.
The Chiefs must prioritize stopping Waller, especially because the rest of the Las Vegas wide receiver unit is nothing to write home about.
5. Cornerbacks building momentum
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23010221/1287743192.jpg)
Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesSpeaking of Ward, he and cornerback L’Jarius Sneed had fantastic performances against the Green Bay Packers — and that’s not to overshadow the improvement Rashad Fenton has shown as an outside cornerback.
They’ll have a taller task this week: the Raiders pass at one of the highest rates in the league — and won’t shy away from testing these cornerbacks at every level of the field.
The biggest threat among their wide receivers is Bryan Edwards, who has made some incredible contested catches during his second NFL season.
That said, slot receiver Hunter Renfrow has become one of Carr’s go-to targets in the short area of the field — and has proven to be a gifted route runner in terms of creating separation. Sneed will be tasked with sticking to him, eliminating Carr’s easy throws on third-and-short.
