After losing three straight and falling from a playoff-contending 4-3 to a disappointing 4-6, the Raiders managed a close road win last week to get to 5-6 and back in the Wild Card hunt. This week the Raiders return home to play the Kansas City Chiefs, who started the season a disappointing 1-5 (including five consecutive losses) before winning their last five straight to push their record to 6-5, a game up on the Raiders in the divisional and Wild Card standings.
Last year, the Raiders played the Chiefs at home in week 12 and came into the game with an 0-10 record.
