 Kansas City Chiefs
In December 2002, after their final game of the season, the dejected Kansas City Chiefs walked off the field soaked in rain and covered in mud. With star running back Priest Holmes on the sideline with a career-threatening hip injury, the Chiefs' slim playoff hopes had been dashed by a 24-0 loss to the Raiders.

I think this is a statement game for both teams. The Raiders win and they are over the hump regarding AFC West losing streak, back to .500, and it will set the tone for the rest of the season. If KC wins they are in first place even with their problems. With a bye coming up they will need the win and the rest to have the confidence to take on their next three opponents, GB, DEN and Indy. As a 3 point favorite the Raiders need to win one to re-kindle the rivalry. With these two teams, it may come down to turnovers.

Yeah the other team(raiders) has to win at least every once in a while for it to be a rivalry. I consider Denver to be the team that is more of the rival with the Chiefs. They can't win at our house and we can't win in theirs. Everybody keeps saying that LJ didn't do that good against Cincy??! 120 yards seems pretty good to me. He should have had 200, but he fumbled the ball at the goaline causing a touchback and therefore taking his yards away. That would have been like a 60 yard gain for a TD.

Big game, this one's on the D. Stopping the run is nice and all but stopping the pass is easier and effective. But where is the rush? If we get our pass rush back we can win this or any game. But I can't find it. Only Sapp with his consistent tying up of two OL's has been worth watching. If he's tying up two then everyone else is seeing some 1 on 1's. Where are you boys? Show up and whoop some red ass! And please Daunte, no more mistakes, I don't want big numbers from you , just no more mistakes.
