                  [TD]The Raiders beat the Chiefs earlier
                  this season in a high-scoring game.
                  The Chiefs seemed to have righted
                  things since then, but the Las Vegas
                  defense has made strides as well.
                  The Raiders won’t win this time, but
                  they will keep it close. Patrick Mahomes
                  will continue his MVP push with a big game.

                        The Las Vegas Raiders needed to alter their style when they finally broke through last month with their first win in Kansas City in eight years.

                        Derek Carr delivered the most prolific deep passing game of his career, coach Jon Gruden called for two successful fourth-down gambles and a much-maligned defense came up with a couple of key defensive stops to outpace Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

                        Pulling off the season sweep against the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs (8-1) will be an even taller task for the Raiders (6-3) on Sunday night.

                        “They’re the world champions. You have to do whatever it takes to try and win the game,” Gruden said. “That particular day, it just seemed to be a shootout. There’s no guarantee we’re going to make a first down this time. We’ll see how it goes.”

                        Carr, who has been criticized throughout his career for being too quick to check the ball down, was as aggressive as ever during the 40-32 win in Week 5. His 219 yards passing on deep throws were 79 more than his next biggest game of his seven-year career as he connected on long scoring strikes to Henry Ruggs III and Nelson Agholor, as well as two other deep throws to Ruggs and Hunter Renfrow.

                        The ultra-aggressive approach appeared to catch the Chiefs by surprise that day as their defensive backs seemed to jump at underneath routes and leave room to operate deep.

                        “They made some good plays, they came out on fire,” cornerback Charvarius Ward said. “They had a good game plan. They had an answer for the things were doing, but this week we’re going to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

                        SHORT-HANDED

                        The Raiders’ defense is playing its best football in years heading into this game, allowing 14.7 points per game and a 68.1 passer rating the past three weeks after forcing five turnovers in a win over Denver last week. Slowing the Chiefs will be much harder, especially since most of the defense missed practice all week on the COVID-19 list.

                        Starting defensive end Clelin Ferrell tested positive early in the week, joining linebacker Cory Littleton on the list. Eight other defensive players were placed on the COVID-19 list as “high risk” close contacts, including starters Lamarcus Joyner, Maliek Collins, Johnathan Abram and Johnathan Hankins. Those players could return by Sunday if they keep testing negative, but won’t be able to practice all week.

                        LINE ’EM UP

                        It remains to be seen who will start on the offensive line for Kansas City with right tackle Mitchell Schwartz and left tackle Eric Fisher joining Martinas Rankin on the COVID-19 list this week. Schwartz also has been out with a back injury.

                        “I’m just going to take it day by day, but we’ll see how that goes, see how they feel and everything else,” said coach Andy Reid, who did say he’d be willing to play someone who missed an entire week of practice. “We’ll just see how everything works out.”

                        WIDE OPEN SPACES

                        The Chiefs also could be without wide receiver Mecole Hardman because of COVID-19, but his absence should be offset by the return of Sammy Watkins. The former first-round pick has been dealing with a hamstring injury since the early part of October, but he returned to practice before the bye and was involved in game prep this week.

                        “He’s someone who is a threat in every way,” Mahomes said. “Hopefully he’ll be back out there.”

                        SMASH-MOUTH FOOTBALL

                        The Raiders have gone to a throwback style during their three-game winning streak, rushing for 190.7 yards per game, while gaining only 138 per game passing. That’s the second highest rushing total and second lowest passing total in the league in that span. This is the fifth time in Raiders history they have run for at least 150 yards and passed for fewer than 200 in three straight wins in a season.

                        “If we have to do that to win, awesome. If we don’t, awesome,” Carr said. “There have been times against the Chiefs where it’s been shootouts. I’ve done it against Alex (Smith), with Patrick, and there’s been games like that. There’s also times where the running game is there, so it just really depends. Whatever we have to do to win, that’s what I’m ready to do.”

                        WELL RESTED

                        For the fourth time in five seasons, the Chiefs will have a bye before playing the Raiders. Kansas City won all four of those contests, part of Reid’s 18-3 record in the regular season after a week off. The Raiders haven’t had a bye before playing the Chiefs since but then again it might not be an advantage if they did. They are 3-15 following a week off since 2003.

                        “I’m sure that’s just a coincidence,” Gruden said. “I don’t know. I don’t think about it. The schedule is the schedule. You have to adapt to it and that’s what we’ll do.”

                            Chiefs-Raiders focus points: making Derek Carr uncomfortable

                            The key to a comfortable Chiefs victory will be making the Raiders quarterback uncomfortable.

                            On this week’s game preview edition of the Arrowhead Pride Laboratory, we talked about three focus points on offense — and three on defense — to watch as the Kansas City Chiefs seek to avenge their only loss in their last 18 games: the Week 5 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

                            Here are the focus points to watch on Sunday:

                            Offense
                            Will the Raiders get home with four pass rushers?

                            The certainly did the last time these two teams played. It remains to be seen who will be available for the Raiders due to COVID protocol — but last time, they were able to generate pressure to make Patrick Mahomes uncomfortable. Some of that can be blamed on the quarterback and his pocket management issues earlier in the season. The Chiefs need to do better handling four-man pressure — and Mahomes needs to show patience to work down to the underneath receivers when the opportunity presents itself.

                            Mistake-free football

                            The only team keeping the Chiefs offense from achieving their goals is the Chiefs — and that was certainly the case when Las Vegas handed them their first loss. The offense stalled out for a large stretch of the second half, finishing with only one score in the last thirty minutes. That can’t (and likely won’t) happen again on Sunday night. If the Chiefs are locked in, they’re going to put up a lot of points.

                            Getting the running backs going

                            In both the running and passing games, the Chiefs haven’t had enough production. With this group of offensive players, there is so much untapped potential in the passing game — and it’s still yet to be fully realized. Surely Andy will start utilizing the backs more coming out of the bye week, right? This could be a good opportunity to get this group going. The Chiefs haven’t really run the ball particularly well the last couple games. That isn’t entirely on the running backs, but the Chiefs need to get these guys out in space.

                            Defense
                            Loading up the box?

                            Are the Chiefs going to devote a lot of resources to stopping the run this week? Save for one long run by Devontae Booker, the run defense was productive in Week 5. Unfortunately, the back end of the defense suffered; coverage busts ultimately led to the most explosive plays this Chiefs defense has allowed in a game. This week, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo will have to figure out how much he’ll sell out against the run.

                            Make Derek Carr uncomfortable

                            There were few instances in the last game between these two teams where Derek Carr felt pressure. In those rare instances, he was the Derek Carr we are all used to seeing when he plays the Chiefs. Lately, Kansas City’s pass rush has really struggled to generate consistent pressure. This would be a week to come out of that slump. If the Chiefs can make Carr feel uncomfortable, they’re going to win this game comfortably.

                            Secondary rotation

                            Against the Carolina Panthers, Daniel Sorensen outsnapped Juan Thornhill; he looks to have earned more opportunities lately. If that continues, it’s worth monitoring. L’Jarius Sneed could be back this week — and if that’s the case, the cornerback rotation will be fascinating. As he comes back from injury, will Sneed play in the slot, or will he have to wait for outside reps to become available? If Sneed does return, how the secondary shakes out during the first week back from the bye will be something to watch.

                                I don’t want the Chiefs to just win tonight. I want them to crush the will and spirit of the Raiders. I want them to send a message to the rest of the NFL that we’re still the Super Bowl Champs and that isn’t changing any time soon.

                                Go Chiefs!
