Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs currently control their destiny to win the AFC West and clinch the No.1 seed. Their next challenge is a divisional game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Although the Chiefs are huge favorites on Black Friday, it’s important to remember that the Raiders shocked the NFL last Christmas at Arrowhead Stadium.
As a consequence, in their path to a third consecutive Super Bowl, Reid sent a big warning to his players and coaches. It would be a mistake to believe it’s going be an easy task at home.
What is the Chiefs record right now?
The Kansas City Chiefs have a 10-1 record and could clinch a playoffs with a win over the Raiders combined with a Dolphins’ loss against the Packers or Broncos’ loss on Monday facing Cleveland.
Although the Raiders are big underdogs, Andy Reid reminded that divisional games are a totally different story. The head coach wants to avoid a massive upset.
