On playing the Raiders:
"Look forward to the challenge of playing the Raiders, a good football team. Antonio [Pierce] does a nice job with that group as do his coordinators, Patrick [Graham], Luke [Getsy] and then Tom [McMahon], who you guys know and they've got Marv Lewis on that staff, too. He and I go way back a lot of years knowing each other but all good football coaches and they've got good players." - Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid
"We know we're going to get their best shot. That's kind of how it's been every single week, but obviously, when you play a divisional opponent – like I've said in the past, this is a real rivalry between our two teams and our two organizations. You're going to get their best shot and we're going to go out there and match that and let the best team win." - Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes
"We know that, obviously, they're a divisional rival, and for a long time. We just talked a lot about how in the past, they won on Christmas Day. We've still got that gut feeling in our system right now. We're just going to go out there, we've got to make plays and just come out with the win." - Chiefs defensive back Jaden Hicks
On the physicality of games against the Raiders:
"You know how much respect I have for Antonio. I know he's going to have this team ready, he's going to have this offense ready. We've got to be ready to get punched in the mouth because that's what they do. If they don't turn the ball over, this team is in every game." - Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo
"It's Raiders week. The energy is always high regardless of either team. It's a game that you want to win for sure, a game that you get prepared for, a game that you get up for. I guess it's another week, but like I said, it's Raider week so it's definitely a little bit more energy added to that week." - Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman
"This is a physical football team that flies around. They live on the personality of Coach Pierce. I think for us, we understand and know that this is going to be a fight. They're physical and they do a lot of good things well." - Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy
On DE Maxx Crosby:
"You have to know where he's at on every single snap because he plays extremely hard every single snap and he's extremely talented. To have a guy be that talented and have that high of a motor, that's special. It takes a lot because you don't always feel great and you might not be getting – he gets chipped or he gets whatever it is, he doesn't let that bother him, he doesn't let that affect him. He just keeps playing extremely hard every single snap. A great challenge for us to go up against him and that defense, and I think the guys are ready for it." - Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes
"He's a great player. He's one of the best in the business of what he does. He's going to give you an honest down every down, so he doesn't take plays off. Our guys know that and respect the heck out of him, so you have to be ready to play four quarters against him." - Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid
On the respect level with DE Maxx Crosby off the field:
"It's a high level of respect. ... I mean, everybody's good in this league. It's about who's going to do the extra thing, the extra step, the extra pass rush or the extra throw, whatever it is to make sure that their team has a better chance to win and he's one of those guys. When we're on the field, we're going to compete because that's the type of guys that we are, but we have a ton of respect mutually between each other off of it." - Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes
On last year's loss to the Raiders:
"They came in and got after us. That's their personality and so, we didn't handle that the right way, but I thought we learned from it and got better for it, which was the important thing after something like that." - Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid
"The last time we played them, we got our butt kicked. They outplayed us on all phases of the ball. This year, we're aware of that. We can hold it in the back of our heads and see if we can have a different outcome this game." - Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones
