A scenario has unfolded for the Kansas City Chiefs that evokes the memories of early-season struggles. The Chiefs faced a setback in their opening game against the Detroit Lions, losing 20-21. This raised concerns among football enthusiasts about their start and preparation for the league this time and also caused fear among them.

This time again, coming off a respite after their bye week, they lost to their last time’s Super Bowl rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, 17-21. As the team progresses in the season, they will face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday night football on November 26 at 4:05 PM ET at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas. Winning this matchup is crucial for the Chiefs for the same reasons and to prevent a historic losing streak.

The biggest rivalry is on Sunday!

The Chiefs vs. Raiders matchups are considered one of the bitterest rivalries of the league. This SNF game is crucial for the Chiefs to win if they want to avoid losing two games in a row, which would result in an embarrassing record. Furthermore, it would also be embarrassing if they lost to the Raiders, the team in the same division currently sitting in the third position. Losing to an average team of the season would draw some backlash from the Chiefdom. The game will be broadcast on CBS for the viewers.

The last time Patrick Mahomes‘ Chiefs lost two consecutive games in the NFL was in 2021. Winning this game would help them stay on the safer side. After losing to the Lions last time, Chiefs’ fans feared losing two back-to-back matchups, which would cause concerns if it were to happen, putting the reigning Super Bowl champs in trouble. However, they then played against the Jacksonville Jaguars and defeated the team with an impressive score of 17-9.
