Fast Forward another week and the Las Vegas Raiders will be playing their second game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs. While a loss here wouldn’t exactly kill the Raiders, especially with them still being on the hunt for a wild spot, it would be a bad omen of things to come. It would also show that there are very few playoff-caliber opponents that they can beat.
Unfortunately for the Raiders, the Chiefs destroyed them in their last matchup, 41-14. Patrick Mahomes went 35 of 50 for 405 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. As if that wasn’t big enough of a problem, the Raiders also only forced one turnover in their last meeting. This means the team either needs to improve on offense or defense to get a W.
Derek Carr needs to come out swinging in this matchup. This could be difficult depending on how long Darren Waller is out with his IT band injury, but Desean Jackson is already proving to be a decent substitute. Between him, Hunter Renfrow, Bryan Edwards, and Foster Moreau there should at least be no reason for a lopsided blowout.
