The Raiders Return

Every NFL team must play at least one Thursday night game. The NFL Network must have wondered how they could get the Oakland Raiders into a game worth watching.

They paired them up with their Western Division rival Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders had a 16 game losing streak and were 0-10 on the season. The Chiefs needed a win to keep pace with the Denver Broncos.

Strange things happen in the NFL. The Raiders won 24-20 to increase their record to 1-10. The Chiefs fell to 7-4.

Maybe the Raiders can finally turn their fortunes around. They have too much history to be the way they have been in recent years. The NFL needs the Raiders to be a playoff team.
