Chiefs vs. Raiders: Game Preview from The Mothership
Four weeks ago, having just soundly defeated the world champion Seattle Seahawks at Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas City Chiefs (7-6) were riding high...
...Reid's victory cry, which by that point the Chiefs had almost become accustomed to hearing, is pretty simple. As he says "Chiefs," the rest of the team joins him in unison followed by group applause...
...Four days later, the Chiefs would lose to the then-winless Raiders (2-11) on a dreary Thursday night in Oakland, and they haven't won a game since.

Thompson: Raiders' Murray gets his chance from The San Jose Mercury News
Patience is a good trait for a running back to have. And the Raiders' Latavius Murray, who waited 26 games for a real shot, has the virtue in spades.
Now it's time to turn it off.These last three games, starting with Sunday's matchup at Kansas City, is the opportunity Murray so patiently anticipated. Now is the time for another handy running back trait: explosiveness.
Chiefs' failure to develop quarterbacks and wide receivers explains current drought from KC Star via The Columbia Daily Tribune
The Chiefs are on the verge of matching an ignominious NFL record that has stood for 64 years.
Not since the stone-age era of the NFL has a team played an entire season without completing a touchdown pass to a wide receiver. The 1950 Pittsburgh Steelers hold that distinction, but that was before offenses spread their receivers across the field. That team attempted just 255 passes in a 6-6 season.
The Chiefs, 7-6 going into Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders, last produced a touchdown pass in the regular season on Chase Daniel's 2-yard toss to Dexter McCluster in the 2013 finale at San Diego.
Since McCluster's catch, the Chiefs have attempted 405 regular-season passes without a touchdown to their wide receivers.

CONFIDENCE LEVEL
The Raiders can't come in overconfident - odd to say considering the team has only two wins. But those two victories have come in a three-week period and the Raiders are playing a team that has lost three straight games - the first of those in Oakland. But the Raiders must remember it was just a year ago this weekend when Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles scored five touchdowns on 195 yards in receptions in a 56-31 blowout win over the Raiders. Charles will play with a swollen knee Sunday after being limited in practice this past week.

H.S. football: Westwood's Nolan Borgersen is The Record Offensive Player of the Year from NorthJersey.com
Borgersen said that one of his fondest memories came in 2013 when he broke the state single-season record for touchdown receptions. He got a call from the former record-holder, Verona's Anthony Fasano of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, and that made a big impression on him.
"I thought that was cool," Borgersen said. "I know one thing. If somebody breaks one of my records, I'm going to make sure that I call to congratulate him."
