Kansas City Prepares for Black Friday Showdown Against Las Vegas

Kansas City fans are gearing up for a special Black Friday matchup as their Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders at GEHA Field this Friday. Following a busy Thanksgiving slate of games, fans can settle in for more football action with kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m. ET.

With the Chiefs currently holding the top spot in the AFC with a record of 10-1, they are riding high after a thrilling comeback victory against the Carolina Panthers. Despite slipping from an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs managed to pull off a nail-biting 30-27 win, thanks to a late field goal. Remarkably, this victory marks the eighth time this season that the Chiefs have won by a single score, showing their resilience in tight contests.

On the other hand, the Raiders are struggling this season, sitting at just 2-9 after enduring a seven-game losing streak. Their latest loss came against the Denver Broncos, where they fell 29-19. The Raiders will have to face the Chiefs without their starting quarterback, Gardner Minshew, who suffered a season-ending broken collarbone. As a result, Aidan O’Connell is preparing for his start against Kansas City. O’Connell, who recently returned from injury, has thrown for 455 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions this season.

Fans looking to catch the game should remember that it will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Local viewers in Kansas City can watch on the NBC affiliate, while those in Las Vegas can tune in on ABC. This game marks the second Black Friday matchup in NFL history, with last year’s notable game featuring the Miami Dolphins defeating the New York Jets.

As the teams prepare to clash, the question remains: Do the Raiders have what it takes to challenge the Chiefs, or will Kansas City achieve a season sweep against their division rivals? Only time will tell.
