The Denver Broncos’ Thursday night debacle makes the Monday night tilt between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs important for the AFC West. Either Kansas City (3-1 overall) can create even more distance as the division’s alpha squad or Las Vegas (1-3) can make up a lot of ground with a win.
Plainly put: It would be much better for Josh McDaniels’ desert marauders went into the bye week at 2-3 rather than a somber 1-4.
It won’t be easy. Hell, it might be the hardest thing the Raiders do this season.
