For the Raiders to leave Kansas City with a share of first place in the AFC West, they need to play flawless on defense and Derek Carr needs to slay his cold-weather demons.

While slot corner Lamarcus Joyner is set to return on Sunday, the Raiders could be without right tackle Trent Brown against the Chiefs.
A week after allowing 34 points to the Jets, the Raiders defense has to counter the vaunted Chiefs offense.
The tight end has seen his numbers dip after a phenomenal start as defenses focus on shutting down the Raiders’ top target.
Hunter Renfrow and Derek Carr had uncanny chemistry, especially on third downs. Replicating that will be a challenge for the Raiders.
The Raiders saw a three-game win streak snapped by the New York Jets and will face division rival Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
Nickel corner Lamarcus Joyner gets in some reps during Wednesday’s indoor session and appears close to a return to the lineup after missing two games with a hamstring injury.
UNLV was expected to move into Allegiant Stadium full time next season, but its games against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 5 and Arizona State on Sept. 12 might be played at Sam Boyd Stadium.
The lift process is no longer on the critical path of the stadium’s construction schedule, so the change in timing doesn’t impact the substantial completion date.
The 85-foot tall Al Davis Memorial Torch, bursting through two levels of the stadium through a giant hole, will create one of the best hangout spots in the entire world-class facility.
Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow suffered a ribs injury that will keep him out for “a while” according to head coach Jon Gruden.
“I think this will be good for us,” said wide receiver Tyrell Williams. “We have a stretch of five games left, and we’re going to make a playoff push.”
The Raiders’ 34-3 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday likely revealed some harsh truths about where they really are as a franchise.
Said Raiders owner Mark Davis while leaving MetLife Stadium: “None of that was good.”
The easy thing would be to say the Raiders simply got caught looking ahead on Sunday, and that the 34-3 beatdown the Jets unleashed on them was retribution for peeking a little too far into the future and overlooking an outclassed opponent.
