Chiefs QB Alex Smith takes aim at Raiders defense | Mercury News
Not that Smith will admit it. Asked about his 9-1 career record against the Raiders dating back to his time with the 49ers, Smith gave his best “aw shucks” answer and claimed to be unaware his games against Oakland were anything out of the ordinary.

“It goes really deep because I was born and raised in Leavenworth, Kansas,” Etheridge said. “My father was a huge Chiefs fan and I don’t even remember learning about them, I just always knew about football and the Chiefs.”

When asked if he thought it was on purpose? “No I mean I have no idea I haven’t seen the play so I couldn’t tell you but just fired up at the time.”
With that said, watch the play again, and you be the judge. Was it a dirty hit, or not? Vote in the poll below.
NFL standings Week 6: Broncos, Raiders losses mean Chiefs don’t lose any ground | Arrowhead Pride
I told you before the games began that you should pick the Chargers over the Raiders. I’m not sure if Derek Carr isn’t completely healthy or what. The Chargers beat the Raiders — in Oakland! — 17-16. I would say something here about how awful the Raiders look but I also remember saying how awful the Steelers looked last week against the Jaguars. The Raiders are preparing for their Super Bowl on Thursday night.
