AFC West report: Chiefs, Chargers shift ahead of rivals in Week 13
By Ellen Mathis
Las Vegas Raiders
HAHAHAHA! Oh, the Raiders. So many people were oohing and ahhing over the Raiders after they beat the Cowboys and had a long rest period before they took on the Washington Football Team. I really thought this was going to be a good game. The Football Team is playing really well lately and the Raiders aren’t that good. Because of that, when the Football Team kicked a game-winning field goal in the final seconds, I was jumping for joy (figuratively).

The Raiders are not a good football team this year. The off the field issues seem to have completely distracted the team. Not only that, but they are still facing some injury issues. Darren Waller is nursing a knee injury and Kenyan Drake is now headed to IR following ankle surgery. He certainly had something to say about the way he was tackled that resulted in his injury.
Graphic Video Warning: The #NFL needs to look at this specific style of tackling. They are throwing flags for taunting and protecting qbs from getting touched but this is my 2nd straight season being injured by a guy pulling me back and using his body weight to roll up my legs. pic.twitter.com/zgJt4rM9yG

The Raiders now have to face the Chiefs on Sunday in Arrowhead. The Chiefs destroyed the Raiders the last time the teams met and the stakes are incredibly high for the Chiefs – not so much for the Raiders. They don’t look like they will be making the playoffs this year, but I’m sure they would love to play spoiler. The Chiefs will need Arrowhead to be rocking on Sunday because it’s RAIDERS WEEK.
