Three KC Chiefs players with the most to gain against Las Vegas Raiders
By Matt Conner
It’s been an interesting week for the Kansas City Chiefs as they pass the midseason mark and make their way toward a very late bye week in this regular season. There were some personnel swings-and-misses in the midst of celebrating the team’s second straight win. They’re on the plus side of the standings for the first time since Week 1, but they’re still technically tied for last place in the AFC.
It’s been that sort of a season.
On the injury front, the right side of the offensive line is depleted at present and wide receiver isn’t as robust as the team would like, but some players are also coming back in the form of Kyle Long and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, which should help the offense and provide further depth and security as the team enters the stretch run.
There’s a lot of moving parts right now for the Chiefs as they enter an important week in which they face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road. How will they handle a Raiders’ team that got the best of them last year in their first meeting? How will the offense perform after such a disappointing performance last week? Can the defense come out with the same ferocity once again?
Every player will need to bring their best effort on Sunday, but these three players in particular have a real opportunity in front of them to not only help the team but their own individual causes for the short and the long-term. Here are the Chiefs who can help themselves most in Week 10 in primetime at Allegiant Stadium.
