The AFC West is about to get a whole lot spicier this Sunday afternoon when the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs roll into Allegiant Stadium to face their old division rival, the also-unbeaten Las Vegas Raiders, in a Week 4 showdown. Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m. Arrowhead time, and you know this one is going to be electric with both teams sitting at the top of the division.
Mahomes and Reid Are Chasing History Already
Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are on a serious tear, trying to hit 4-0 to start the season for the fifth time in their time together. Think about that for a second. That’s a huge statement, especially with them looking to lock in four wins over AFC opponents and two huge division victories before they even hit the bye week. The Chiefs are firing on all cylinders, and that kind of early season dominance sets a serious tone for the rest of the year.
Kirk Cousins and Brock Bowers Are Setting the League On Fire
But let’s not pretend this is a cakewalk for the Chiefs. The Las Vegas Raiders’ offense has been absolutely cooking so far this season, and Kirk Cousins is absolutely slinging it, leading the entire NFL with nine touchdown passes. His favorite target, tight end Brock Bowers, just shredded defenses last week coming off an injury with a monster 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. The big question mark for today? Bowers was marked questionable pre-game because of a sudden illness this morning, but he is active. If he’s anywhere near full strength, that’s a massive threat the Chiefs defense has to deal with.
This isn’t just another game. It’s a battle between the two early leaders in the AFC West, both walking in unbeaten. Something has to give. You know both sides are bringing everything they’ve got to protect that undefeated record and get a leg up in the division. It’s going to be a wild one.
