Last Week: Chiefs 41, Raiders 14

Nothing went right for the Raiders in their first of two games against their archrival this year. A blowout loss sent Las Vegas tumbling from first to third place in the AFC West and currently out of a playoff spot. The Raiders’ defense gave up more than 500 yards of offense, with the Chiefs’ former MVP quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, throwing for 406 yards and five touchdowns. The Raiders’ offense managed only 15 first downs—the Chiefs had 29—and committed two turnovers, including DeSean Jackson fumbling after his first reception with the team. Jackson caught a 38-yard bomb in the third quarter that could have helped the Raiders keep pace in a quickly developing shootout, but Chiefs cornerback Rashad Fenton punched the ball out of his hands and the rout began.

Matchup: Las Vegas struggled to contain a dangerous speedy wide receiver/brawny tight end combination against Kansas City, and the Raiders will face a similar challenge against Cincinnati. Ja’Marr Chase has taken the league by storm, scoring seven touchdowns and gaining 835 receiving yards in his first nine games to become the favorite for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Veteran C.J. Uzomah has also built a strong rapport with second-year quarterback Joe Burrow; he has five touchdowns. Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce combined for 15 receptions for 202 yards against the Raiders, and if Chase and Uzomah produce anywhere near that level, Las Vegas will be looking at a third straight loss.

Raider to Watch: Wide receiver Bryan Edwards

One of the only positives in the loss to Kansas City was the play of Edwards, who had a career-high 88 receiving yards, including a 37-yard touchdown reception. Jackson’s presence might cut down on the snaps of all Las Vegas’ receivers once he gets up to speed, but Edwards looks secure in his role. The second-year player is the only big-bodied possession receiver on the roster, and quarterback Derek Carr needs Edwards to establish himself as a threat to open up opportunities for everyone else. Edwards has been inconsistent this year—occasionally struggling with drops and an inability to create separation from defensive backs—but he could be turning the corner.
