The Oakland Raiders will finish up their season on the road this weekend as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Jan. 3, 2016 at 1:25 p.m. PT at Arrowhead Stadium. Sunday's game will be the fourth divisional match-up in the last five weeks for the Raiders, and the second contest against Kansas City since Dec. 6. The Raiders are 3-2 against the AFC West and 2-0 on the road against divisional opponents so far in 2015. They are looking to go perfect on the road against their AFC West rivals for the first time since 2011. After falling to the Chiefs in Week 13, the Raiders have won two of their last three, with victories coming against the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers. Kansas City, riding a nine game winning streak, has not lost since Oct. 18. Last week, the Raiders beat the Chargers at home on Thursday Night Football, 23-20, while the Chiefs beat the Cleveland Browns at Arrowhead, 17-13.

In a tight match-up between the two rivals in primetime, the Raiders were led one last time at home by S Charles Woodson, as he helped lead a defensive effort that limited the Chargers to 343 yards of total offense. LB Malcolm Smith paced the team with 14 tackles and came up with a huge play in the fourth quarter, forcing a fumble that was recovered by DE Benson Mayowa and returned deep into San Diego territory to set up a touchdown. DL Denico Autry produced the team's only sack, bringing down QB Philip Rivers for a safety. RB Latavius Murray eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards for the season in the game, as he led the team with 79 yards on 19 carries and one touchdown, a 22-yard score. WR Michael Crabtree hauled in his team-leading eighth touchdown of the season in the fourth quarter, giving the Raiders the lead. QB Derek Carr threw for 204 yards and one touchdown, also leading Oakland on a 15-play, 67-yard game-winning drive in overtime that culminated with a 31-yard field goal by K Sebastian Janikowski. The Raiders' defense held on the ensuing possession, sealing the win.

3,000, 1,000, 1,000

In last week's victory over the San Diego Chargers, RB Latavius Murray eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season, making him the first Raider to do so since Darren McFadden in 2010. Murray's 1,000 yards also marked the first time the team has had a 3,000-yard passer (QB Derek Carr), 1,000-yard receiver (WR Amari Cooper) and 1,000-yard rusher (Murray) in the same year since 2005, and only the fourth time in franchise history. With 112 receiving yards this Sunday, WR Michael Crabtree will reach 1,000 receiving yards, making the 2015 Raiders the first team in franchise history with two 1,000-yard receivers, a 3,000-yard passer and a 1,000-yard rusher.

CHIEFS SNAPSHOT**

Overview: After a 1-5 start, Head Coach Andy Reid has led the Kansas City Chiefs on a nine-game winning streak heading into Sunday's regular season finale. Last week, the Chiefs staved off the Cleveland Browns in a 17-13 win, which clinched the team's first postseason berth since 2013. With a 10-5 mark through 15 games, Kansas City will close out its season against the Raiders. So far this season, the Chiefs are 4-1 against the AFC West.

Offense: The Chiefs are captained by 11-year NFL veteran QB Alex Smith, who has started every game for Kansas City in 2015. This season, Smith has completed 293-of-446 passes (65.7 percent) for 3,330 yards with 18 touchdowns and five interceptions for a 96.7 rating. WR Jeremy Maclin has excelled in his first season in Kansas City and recently eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season.
