The Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders will feature in one of three late afternoon starts in the NFL for Week 6 this Sunday. The big game will take place from O.co Coliseum in Oakland and has a scheduled start time of 4.05 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Raiders come into this Week 6 clash on 4-1 having claimed a good 34-31 victory over the San Diego Chargers last week.
The teams were closely matched throughout and the game really could have gone either way. But the Raiders showed grit and character to come back after being behind at half time to claim the victory.
If they can win again today against the Chiefs they move to 5-1 and will start to believe they can be real contenders this season.
The Chiefs meanwhile have had an up and down season so far, and will want to put their 14-43 blowout defeat against the Pittsburgh Steelers far behind them with a victory today.
That loss dropped them to 2-2, and their season could go either way from here.
Earlier this week, Week 6 got started with a big game between the Denver Broncos and the San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football.
The Broncos came into the game as heavy favorites, with most expecting them to bounce back from their first defeat of the season a week before. However, it became apparent that Denver's first loss was not simply a minor blip, and they now appear to be heading into a slump in form as they were defeated 21-13 by the Chargers.
San Diego were in charge throughout, and heading into the final quarter, the Chargers were 19-3 ahead. The Broncos finally showed some life in offense in the fourth quarter, but 10 points was nowhere near enough to get them back into the game.
That result dropped the Broncos back to 4-2, and simultaneously lifted the Chargers up to 2-4 and gives them a tiny glimmer of hope that this season still holds something for them.
The victory will be sweet relief for San Diego fans, who have witnessed their team constantly choke to give away fourth quarter leads again and again this season to drop to 1-4.
Although there were signs of what had gone on in previous games here, the result was never seriously in doubt. Chargers' fans will still have been holding their breath though when the Broncos shortened the lead to 8 points with 32 seconds left, but a last gasp drive from the Broncos ended with a failed Hail Mary and finally the San Diego faithful were able to breathe again.
The Broncos now have time to rest with an extra long week before returning in Week 7 on Monday Night Football to face the Houston Texans. Meanwhile, the Chargers won't play again until two Sundays from now when they will take on the Atlanta Falcons.
