The teams split their matchups last year, with the Raiders winning the first 40-32 on the road and Kansas City taking the second 35-31.

Las Vegas came within a touchdown against the New York Giants last week, but they wound up with a 23-16 loss.

A couple offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Kansas City enters the matchup with 20 passing touchdowns, good for fourth best in the league.
