Oakland Raiders can end 14-year playoff drought this weekend

This last Raiders victory over the Chiefs was Derek Carr’s first win as an National Football League quarterback. Derek Carr seemed off too, though the sloppy playing conditions likely hurt them more than they did the Chiefs. “If he’s not in our camp, I’ll get him over”, said Mets manager Terry Collins, during the baseball winter meetings, suggesting he wants converted quarterback Tebow to play spring training games with the Mets. He has sacks in three straight games. The Chiefs would again go on to score a touchdown.

They’ll need more of the same to slow the Raiders locomotive. In recent games, the Chiefs have opened up the trick plays. First place in the division is at stake, as Kansas City can move into a tie for the lead with a win.

The Kansas City Chiefs are 9-3, following a 29-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons last week. “You try to play the chess game here in the rematch: what is different, what can we change?” Derek Carr has relatively small hands. He’s up for and is a candidate for MVP in the league. At some point you would think the national pundits would take notice that this team is winning. Carr had a quarterback rating of 35.7, which was his worst performance of the season. Cooper caught only one more pass for 12 yards.

Winning on the road will be crucial for three out of the next four weeks, especially in two environments that many around the league would deem two of the more hard places in which to win: Kansas City and Denver. Richard also has good vision, and makes for the ideal change of pace running back for the Oakland.

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).

“To be honest, it’s the Groundhog Day thing”, Carr said.

If there’s one thing the Raiders learned from the last time they played the Chiefs, it’s that they must control the clock. That stuff never is a determining factor in anything I write down, or anything that goes on in my brain. I’ve had my fair share of those games; you treat it like any other game. “So we are looking forward to it”. With that in mind, Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid has given Kansas Citians an out: a half-day work excuse. Reid said this is an exciting time for Kansas City sports fans.

“It just shows how good our division is”, Carr said. Don’t stop. Keep the motor going.

The initial timeline from Mario Edwards Jr.’s early-August hip injury called for the defensive end to be miss maybe a couple weeks during the regular season. Try to confuse him’. McKenzie and Del Rio then began bringing in key complimentary players via free agency, such as former 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree and Cardinals defensive lineman Dan Williams. But he indicated after the game he wasn’t anxious about that.

“Honestly, I love the cold”, he said, citing his college days. “I knew the ball was going to hang”.
