Raiders QB Derek Carr looks for success vs. Chiefs

Raiders are 6-0 in games away from Oakland Coliseum.

The outburst happened off camera and followed a 10-minute session with reporters during which the second-year starter faced several questions about criticism he received following a 38-24 loss to Oakland on Sunday. Kansas City has won seven of its last eight games. The Chiefs lead the all-time series with a record of 59-51-2, and the Raiders haven’t won since 2014.

Trend: The Raiders are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games on the road against the Chiefs.

Kansas City has managed to produce just 36 total points over its past two dates at Arrowhead Stadium.

“Honestly, I love the cold”, said Oakland quarterback Derek Carr.

“To be honest, it’s the “Groundhog Day” thing, ” he said. Here’s three things the Raiders must do to beat the Chiefs. Spencer Ware was a big reason for this lopsided time of possession battle. Every comeback seems to include a big catch by Michael Crabtree, and a game-turning defensive play by Khalil Mack. The Raiders can’t control the clock if they can’t stop the run. The Bills squandered a 15-point second-half lead and dropped to 6-6 in moving to the fringes of playoff contention. The Raiders will have running back Latavius Murray, who didn’t play in the first game. A win on Thursday will all but seal it, and maybe a few more victories may just seal some bigger prizes for Carr and the Raiders.

Carr said he watched Reid teach during Pro Bowl week and saw the bond between Reid and tight end Travis Kelce, who was also a member of the team. The team’s only loss over its last 10 games was a 26-10 dud at home to these Chiefs back in October. – There has only been one player in the National Football League that has racked up three consecutive games with over 100 receiving yards, and that man is Travis Kelce. Justin Hunter has given the Bills a nice red zone threat, but so far hasn’t been capable of being a top-two option, while Marquise Goodwin hasn’t topped 43 yards in the last four games. Backups Walter Powell, Greg Salas and recently acquired Percy Harvin are also sidelined with season-ending injuries.

Like the Raiders, the Chiefs are playing in the toughest division in football.

This is going to be a competitive game, but we really like the home team. The Raiders will need to contain Berry if they hope to continue their winning streak. Kansas City’s pass protection broke down in the victory over Denver, allowing six sacks of Smith, but yielded only one to Atlanta. After sitting out a game while in the NFL’s concussion protocol, in the past three weeks he carried 47 times for only 194 yards (4.1 yards per carry) with no touchdowns. He looked uncomfortable the entire game. He secured the starting job as in his rookie season, and turned the Raiders from 3-13 as a rookie to AFC contenders in just two seasons. The bad weather may have played a role, but Carr had no excuses.

Raiders defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. said this week that he knows that challenge is “crazy”, but he believes his Raiders are excited about the chance to play well on the national stage. “We’ll look at everything, but if we put him out there – or he gets out there – we’ll have all that factored in”.
