Overview

• Kansas City hosts Las Vegas in Week 7 at Arrowhead, with the Chiefs seeking a third straight win over their AFC West rival and the Raiders sitting at 2-4 under first-year coach Pete Carroll.
• Carroll emphasized making Patrick Mahomes a non-factor, citing the quarterback’s quick-trigger passing and increased rushing threat this season.
• Linebacker Devin White said he expects to win any matchup with Travis Kelce and added he is not intimidated by Mahomes or the Chiefs’ resume.
• The Chiefs’ receiving corps is closer to full strength, with Rashee Rice returning to join Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy as additional targets for Mahomes.
• Former Chiefs tight end Jason Dunn highlighted the Raiders’ recent special-teams issues—blocked field goal, blocked punt, and punter AJ Cole’s ankle sprain—though tight end Michael Mayer’s return should aid kick protection.
