MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL HOSTS PRO
According to Pro Football Focus, the duo combined to allow Adams only three catches on six targets for 16 yards, one first-down catch and an interception that Sneed pulled down.Īlong with rookie cornerback Jaylen Watson, Sneed and Fenton will be tested early and often on Monday evening. Last season, cornerbacks L’Jarius Sneed and Rashad Fenton got some experience against Adams in the Week 9 win over the Green Bay Packers - although Adams had backup quarterback Jordan Love throwing him the ball. With the way the Chiefs are playing on both sides of the ball, I would think the Raiders will believe that their best chance to put up points is to attack Kansas City’s outside cornerbacks with Adams - the same way the Los Angeles Chargers picked on them with wide receiver Mike Williams. Adams is averaging nearly 12 targets and 72 yards a game this season - with three scores so far. The Raiders’ new wide receiver has as high a target share as any wide receiver in football, combining his incredible route-running with the relationship that he and quarterback Derek Carr began as college teammates. Corralling Davante Adams Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports The attacking offense we saw on Sunday night needs to continue for every game in the upcoming calendar - starting by continuing the team’s offensive momentum by overwhelming a below-average Las Vegas defense. So will the running game be multiple and downhill - or predictable, like it was in Indianapolis? Will the scheme open up receiving opportunities, rather than relying on pass-catchers to get open? Will the coaches be aggressive in fourth-down situations - and will the players match that aggression with impressive effort? There can be no more slip-ups or letdowns, because the strength of Kansas City’s schedule doesn’t allow for them: the team will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. Two of the most impressive parts of the Chiefs’ 41-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4 were how aggressive their game plan was - and how locked-in every aspect of the offense seemed to be.īut now, they need to make that success snowball into a stretch of dominance.
Can the Chiefs match their Week 4 energy? Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports I have five things to watch in this rivalry game.
Desperate to avoid starting 1-4, the Raiders will be ready to give the Chiefs a hard-fought contest. īoth teams are coming off rebound victories, but one has a lot more on the line than the other. The Kansas City Chiefs started the 2022 season with three of its four games on the road, but went 3-1 over that stretch.īut four of the Chiefs’ next five games will take place on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, beginning with a matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders (1-3) on Monday Night Football Kansas City entered the weekend as a seven-point favorite, per DraftKings SportsBook.
