Chiefs Eye Eighth Consecutive AFC West Title in Christmas Day Clash with Raiders
Raiders Seek to Break Chiefs' Dominance Despite Recent Record-Breaking Victory Over Chargers
- The Chiefs could clinch their eighth consecutive AFC West title with a victory over the Raiders on Christmas Day, or a tie if the Broncos lose to the Patriots the previous night.
- The Chiefs are also trying to secure the AFC’s No. 1 seed and lone first-round playoff bye, currently two games back of the Ravens and a game behind the Dolphins.
- The Raiders, despite their 6-8 record, are coming off a record-breaking 63-21 victory over the Chargers, scoring a club-record 42 points in the first half.
- Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is 10-1 in his career against the Raiders, and the Chiefs have won six straight times and 11 of the last 12 in the series.
- Despite good starts in two of their last three games against Kansas City, the Raiders have failed to secure a victory, with the Chiefs rallying for wins in both cases.
