What to watch for
It'll be the battle of two high-powered offenses at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday night, backed by two top-tier quarterbacks in Derek Carr and Patrick Mahomes. Carr has continued his successful start to the season, throwing for 2,565 yards – ranking No. 3 in passing yards among QBs – for an average 320.6 yards per game with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Mahomes is right behind Carr with 2,534 passing yards of his own (281.6 yards per game) for 20 touchdowns while also throwing 10 interceptions.
The Chiefs have held the crown as AFC West champs for the past five years, but this year could see a little shakeup. While the Raiders started 3-0, the Chiefs began with a 1-2 record, but have rebounded to a 5-4 record and have won their past two games. Currently, all four teams in the division have recorded five wins, making things in the AFC West very interesting going forward.

The Silver and Black took home a 40-32 win on Oct. 11, 2020, while the Chiefs responded with a 35-31 win over the Raiders on Nov. 22, 2020.
