It’s Week 13 of the NFL season, and with it comes the first of our annual two-game series against our division rivals, the Oakland Raiders. While division games are always exciting, this one promises to be even better, namely because the Kansas City Chiefs and Raiders are both fighting for the playoffs right now.
This game hasn’t held as much meaning for both teams in over a decade, with both franchises experiencing years of futility and frustration. The only thing better than a win against the Raiders is a win against the Raiders that severely damages their ability to make the postseason; that’s something the Chiefs can deliver this weekend.
