Raiders-Chiefs Week 17: Playoff ramifications

There is much at stake for both the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs when they meet on Christmas Day (kickoff is at 10 a.m. PT) at Arrowhead Stadium.

For the Raiders, it’s all about the job push for interim head coach Antonio Pierce, who is 3-3 after taking over for the fired Josh McDaniels in Week 9. If Pierce can lead the Raiders over the Chiefs —- the Chiefs are 10-1 over the Raiders in the Patrick Mahomes era and have lost to the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium once the past 10 years — it would go a very long way in Pierce’s case to be the head coach in 2024.
