Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid is expecting a physical battle from an “aggressive” Las Vegas Raiders team when the unbeaten AFC West division rivals meet in a marquee NFL matchup on Sunday.
“The guys are executing it, and executing it fast and accurate,” Reid said of the Raiders who with three victories in the first three weeks have matched their win total of 2025.
Allen, chasing his 100th career victory, is the first quarterback to rush for multiple touchdowns in three straight games and just the fourth player to do so in the first three games of a campaign after Jim Brown in 1958, Stephen Davis in 1999 and Priest Holmes in 2003. Because he’s going to bring his best, and that’s when you get the best games out there, “When I step on that football field I’m going to need my best. The Raiders have forced nine turnovers this season, two more than any other team so far. Nakobe Dean, acquired by the Raiders from Philadelphia, leads the NFL with three forced fumbles and rookie cornerback Hezekiah Masses leads the league in interceptions. Daniels, who dislocated the same elbow last season and was hurt again against Dallas two weeks ago, returned to practice in England with a brace on the arm. The game is one of nine NFL international games this season and the first of three in London this month.
Mahomes, meanwhile, was looking forward to the challenge posed by Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby “one of the best competitors in the league”. “You go against those guys, it brings out the best in you,” Mahomes said.
