It was a big win for the Raiders to get wins against the Houston Texans on Mon Nov 21 in Mexico City and then against the Carolina Panthers at home on Nov 27 and then defeating Buffalo Bills last Sunday at the Coliseum. It was good offense to come back on the Bill who jumped on them early. The Raiders had to overcome the odds of playing from behind and yet in still they had the confidence to win this tough battle against the Bills.

The Raiders (10-2) have another challenge as they play in Kansas City tonight (Thursday) against the Kansas City Chiefs (9-3) at Arrowhead Stadium listen to what J Hawkes goes over on some of the challenges facing the Raiders and what they’ll come up against for this edition of Thursday Night Football.
