Chiefs A 15 year history of heart-breaking losses to the Raiders

The Chiefs have always lost to the Raiders when it mattered most. From OT meltdowns like this one to regular beat-downs like in 02, if it's a shot at the playoffs, the Chiefs facing the Raiders seems to mean defeat.

96: Chiefs looked well on their way to the playoffs. If they win one of the next 3 games, they lock up a spot. They lose to the Raiders in a 26-7 blowout and the next 2 games to miss out.

99: We should all know this one. Blowing a huge lead, going to OT and giving up the FG. Oddly, the situations played out similar to today.

02: A Chiefs win over the Raiders and a Broncos loss means a wild card spot. Naturally, the Chiefs get curb-stomped.

10: Another heart-breaker here, and while the Chiefs did make the playoffs as well as this one not being near the end of the season, this one came real close to ruining the playoff run.

11: Just happened an hour and a half ago.

The only time the Chiefs have EVER taken care of the Raiders with the playoffs on the line was 06, and the Raiders were dog shit that year. It's getting to the point where any time I see the Raiders at the end of the schedule, I just circle a loss.

To those that will probably say "dumb topic", at least let me have my rant!
