Andy Reid excuses Chiefs Kingdom from work, school for Thursday showdown
Kansas City, which is +700 to win the AFC title, has had back-to-back remarkable wins. It’s still unknown why King kicked it directly to Hill in the center of the field. “I’ve never seen a stadium chanting a name like that, and then he houses it”. Along with San Diego and Denver, this is the 57th consecutive season they played in the same conference/division.
“Thursday night’s highly anticipated clash between the Raiders and Chiefs sports an AFL feel”, said Ira Kaufman of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I think it’s awesome.
Oakland quarterback Derek Carr absolutely deserves NFL MVP consideration – and he wasn’t suspended four games like presumed leader Tom Brady was. You can live stream the game live by visiting Tnf.Twitter.com, or downloading the apps for Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV or XBox One.
“I don’t like the Chargers and I don’t like the Broncos”, Budde said. Oakland won’t win easily, but they will win.
Charcandrick West also had a touchdown run for the Chiefs who led 21-3 when they lost linebacker Derrick Johnson to an Achilles tendon injury, and that seemed to briefly deflate them.
Ward had 2 combined tackles (1 solo) in 62 snaps and gave up a several runs on that first Bills touchdown drive including the touchdown run from two yards out. “I just prepare for them just like I do any other game”. In comparison, the Chiefs are rather average, but control pace and limit mistakes. The offense dominated the game in time of possession. Hill separated from Raiders cornerback David Amerson on a deep seven route and made safety Nate Allen pay for reacting too slowly in coverage by stretching to catch a Smith zinger. “It’s going to be something more”, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said after the 21-13 victory on Thursday night, “especially with a team like Oakland that’s at the top of the charts on offense and defense”.
Kansas City’s 16-point October victory in Oakland was based on the running of Spencer Ware in his only 2016 game rushing more than 100 yards (131). Jeremy Maclin’s return isn’t going to be an issue. But in this one, it started out about as bad as possible. It opens up the stuff underneath. “We’re making teams one-dimensional, just not right away”.
The Patriots (10-2) can win the AFC East or even a first-round bye when they host the Ravens on Monday night. With four games left this season, Carr has already matched the win total he posted in his first two years combined.
The Oakland Raiders have been one of the NFL’s most pleasantly surprising success stories this season.

Elliott is leading the National Football League in rushing yards with 1,285, which is 242 more than second place and has raced home for 12 touchdowns.
“To be honest, it’s the Groundhog Day thing”, Carr said. Carr has engineered six fourth-quarter comebacks this season. “In all three phases we came up a little short”.
That’s because the Raiders no longer steer their own postseason destiny.
The Chiefs went on to pick up the first down they needed to put the game away.
“He was out there with me tonight”, West said. The game kicks off at 5:25 p.m. PT, and is airing on NBC, NFL Network.
