Quick Hits: Carr Appears On Air With 95.7 The Game's J.T. The Brick | Raiders.com
"Huge test for us, and that’s the thing, that’s the mindset. We’ve won four games, it feels good and all those things, but we have earned absolutely nothing. We are nowhere near our goals, we’ve got a long season ahead of us. We’ve got to stay focused, we’re getting a team we haven’t beaten in two years, coming to our place. That’s a big deal, that’s a huge deal, they had our number last year, they beat us twice and that’s what they earned. We can’t sit here and look at records and pat ourselves on the back, we’re playing a team we have not beat."
Vegas: Raiders open Week 6 even vs. Chiefs | 247 Sports
The Week 6 matchup between the Oakland Raiders (4-1) and Kansas City Chiefs (2-2) is a pick 'em, according to the Las Vegas oddmakers at OddsShark.com.

Chiefs coaches say speedy rookie receiver Tyreek Hill is ‘growing weekly’ | The Kansas City Star
Wilson has played more than three times as many offensive snaps as Hill (162 to 47), but Hill has one caught one more pass than Wilson (11) for 3 more yards (67) and has also caught two touchdown passes, which is tied for the team lead with star tight end Travis Kelce. But that’s not where his impact ends. Hill is ninth in the league in both kickoff-return average (22.6) and punt-return average (13.4), numbers that would actually be much higher had he not had a 105-yard kickoff-return touchdown against the Texans and 78-yard punt-return touchdown against the Steelers called back on penalties.
The Morning After: Chargers implosion helps hand Raiders big victory | Silver And Black Pride
Even scarier is Andy Reid's incredibly impressive post Bye week record. He was 13-1 after bye weeks in Philly and he is 2-1 so far for the Chiefs making his overall post bye week record an astonishing 15-2. The Raiders are going to need to be prepared to deal with a monster of a team with KC next week, especially defensively where they can not afford to give up the big plays like they did this past week against the Chargers.
5 NFL teams with losing records that are still playoff contenders | FOX Sports
In a tale of two seasons in 2015, the Kansas City Chiefs started 1-5 and finished 11-1, ending their season with a 27-20 Divisional Round to loss to the New England Patriots at Foxborough. Those Chiefs represent only the second team to reach the playoffs after starting out 1-5 or worse (the 1970 Bengals were the other). That should offer some consolation to fans of teams that have sputtered out of the gate this year.
