THE MATCH-UP
franchise and the American Football League in 2009. Appropriately, Kansas City’s home opener comes against the club’s most bitter AFL rival as the Oakland Raiders visit Arrowhead. The Chiefs will commemorate their 50th season on Sunday with a number of pre-game, in-game and halftime features.

This week’s game will be the 101st renewal of a fierce feud that dates back to the AFL’s inaugural season in ‘60 when the Chiefs were stationed in Dallas and known as the Texans. While Oakland’s ownership group initially wanted to call their club the Senors, the Silver and Black has been synonymous with the Oakland Raiders since their initial game 49 years ago.

Kansas City is under the guidance of fi rst-year head coach Todd Haley. Haley’s squad is coming off a fi ercely-contested 38-24 loss at Baltimore (9/13). Those 24 points were the most allowed at home by the Ravens since a 44-20 loss vs. Indianapolis (12/9/07). KC made big plays in all three phases as S Jon McGraw blocked a punt which he recovered for a TD. LB Derrick Johnson returned an INT for 70 yards, while QB Brodie Croyle and WR Mark Bradley hit on a 50-yard pass as Croyle compiled a career-high 116.1 rating starting in place of an injured QB Matt Cassel.

Raiders head coach Tom Cable is 0-1 vs. the Chiefs and will make his initial appearance at Arrowhead as Oakland’s head coach. The Raiders are coming off a last-second 24-20 loss on Monday Night Football vs. San Diego (9/14).

Kansas City has won 10 of the last 12 contests in this AFC West showdown, including a nine-game winning streak (2003-07). While Kansas City has been dominant in the Chiefs-Raiders series of late, 10 contests during that 12-game stretch have been decided by seven points or less. Just 34 total points (253- 219) separate the two teams over that span, meaning the average margin in those 12 games has been just 2.8 ppg. The Chiefs defense has held the Raiders to 20 points or less in five of the last six meetings between the two squads. Dating back to 2001, 12 of the last 16 games in this series have been decided by seven points or less. KC hits the road next week for an interconference clash at Philadelphia (9/27), while Oakland hosts AFC West foe Denver (9/27).

THE SERIES
Kansas City owns a 53-45-2 advantage over Oakland in regular and postseason play. The Chiefs have also beaten Denver 53 times, tying for the most victories the Chiefs have accumulated against any opponent. The Chiefs own a seven-game edge in the all-time regular season series between the two squads at 51-44-2 dating to the AFL’s inaugural season of ‘60. The Chiefs are 2-1 against Oakland in postseason play.

The Chiefs are 29-10 (.744) overall vs. the Raiders dating back to ‘90, including a ‘91 AFC playoff tilt. The Chiefs had a nine-game winning streak snapped in 2007 at home against the Raiders, the longest victory stretch by either squad in this series, which enters its 50th season. That nine-game winning streak against the Raiders ranks as the second-longest mark by the Chiefs against any one opponent, behind an 11-game winning streak over Denver from ‘64-69. Kansas City has registered a 14-5 (.737) regular season record against the Raiders at Arrowhead since ‘90. Oakland claimed a 23-8 win in its most recent trip to Kansas City (9/14/08). The Chiefs have won six straight games at Oakland, the longest such streak against the Raiders by any team in league history. Kansas City owns a pair of postseason wins against the Raiders, including a 17-7 win in the ‘69 AFL Championship Game (1/4/70) that sent the Chiefs to Super Bowl IV. Kansas City also claimed a 10-6 victory in the first postseason contest played at Arrowhead (12/28/91).
