Following up their first divisional matchup last week, the Oakland Raiders will once again host an AFC West opponent this week, as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 1:05 p.m. PT. Sunday's game marks the first of two meetings with the Chiefs, as the second game will come on Thursday Night Football on Dec. 8. Last week, the Raiders won their third straight game closing out a 34- 31 victory over the San Diego Chargers. The Chiefs were on a bye.

Here is the Game Preview, presented by 95.7 The Game.

In getting their fourth win of the year and first at home, the Raiders pulled out another one-score affair. The defense forced four turnovers on the day, led by rookie S Karl Joseph's first two takeaways of his career (one interception and one fumble recovery). CB Sean Smith added his second interception of the season and S Reggie Nelson recovered a fumble that was forced by newcomer LB Perry Riley Jr. DT Stacy Mcgee had a big day on the defensive line, helping to hold the Chargers' rushing attack to 3.6 yards per carry. McGee also added two tackles (one solo) and 1.5 sacks on the day, his first career multi-sack game. On offense, QB Derek Carr eclipsed 300 passing yards for the second time this season and threw two touchdowns. WR Amari Cooper led all receivers with 138 receiving yards and posted his first touchdown of the year. WR Michael Crabtree added his fifth receiving touchdown in as many games, hauling in a 21-yard score on fourth-and-3 in the third quarter to give the Raiders a lead they would not relinquish. K Sebastian Janikowski posted 14 points on the afternoon, including going 4-of-5 on field goals. He connected on a season-long 56-yarder as the first half expired.

Next week, the Raiders will begin a 10-day trip to Florida to play the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Chiefs will host the New Orleans Saints.
