Raiders coach Jon Gruden calls trend of facing Chiefs after their bye a ‘coincidence’

Chiefs Week is clearly going to be epic. We’re not even a full day into this huge AFC West matchup week and the tension is already palpable.

This is the fourth time in five years that the Raiders face Kansas City the week after the Chiefs’ bye week.
