The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Las Vegas Raiders this weekend in another edition of one of the league's greatest rivalries.

Here's what to know about the game.

1. Here's a look at the final injury report for both teams.

The Chiefs will be without defensive end Mike Danna (strained pectoral) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) on Sunday as both players continue to recover from injuries.

In some good news, veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins – who the Chiefs acquired from Tennessee earlier this week – is likely set to make his debut with Kansas City on Sunday according to Head Coach Andy Reid.

"He did a good job [this week]," Reid said. "He's in the process of going through everything. Everything he does is [for] the first time, but he has the experience with relative plays. He's picked it up. He's a smart guy, which really helps."

As for the Raiders, wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) will likely return to action on Sunday after a two-week absence, although he is officially listed as "Questionable."

Starting left guard Dylan Parham, meanwhile, will miss his second consecutive game.

2. The Chiefs were vastly improved in terms of red zone efficiency last week.

Kansas City was 4-for-5 in terms of scoring touchdowns in the red zone last week, which marked a significant step forward in that category when compared to the Chiefs' red-zone productivity through their first five games.

The Chiefs scored touchdowns in the red zone at just a 39 percent clip prior to Sunday's game, which – paired with some uncharacteristic turnovers – overshadowed what has actually been a fairly efficient and effective offense.

For example, there's a statistic called "successful plays," which measures the productivity of an offense by the following parameters:

• When the offense gains 40 percent of the yardage necessary for a first down on first down

• When the offense gains 50 percent of the yardage necessary for a first down on second down

• When the offense gains the first down on third or fourth down

Despite their relative offensive struggles at times this year, the Chiefs actually lead the NFL in "successful play" rate at 57.6 percent. So, when that productivity is coupled with the red zone efficiency the Chiefs compiled last week, the result is – unsurprisingly – a season-most 28 points.

There's still room for the Chiefs' offense to grow, too, when considering Kansas City turned it over twice last week (which included an interception in 49ers' territory).

3. Las Vegas owns the No. 2 third-down defense in the NFL.

The Chiefs will aim to build on last week's offensive success against a Raiders' defense that has struggled on the surface – it's the No. 29 scoring defense in the NFL – but is probably better than the overall numbers may indicate.

Las Vegas has been on the field defensively 81 times this season, which marks the fourth-most defensive series of any team in the NFL. The Raiders' opponents this season have also benefitted from excellent starting field position, as Las Vegas has taken the field defensively at its own 35-yard line on average – the worst for any defense in the league.

Despite those circumstances, however, Las Vegas still owns the No. 2 third-down defense in the NFL at 28.9 percent, and edge rusher Maxx Crosby is a big reason why.

Crosby – who has 23 pressures, 11 quarterback hits and 6.5 sacks on the season – is one of the league's top pass-rushers, and if the Chiefs are to move the ball on Sunday, they'll have to contain his impact.

4. The turnover margin will be of particular importance this week.

The aforementioned starting field position of the Raiders' opponents this season is due in large part to Las Vegas' league-most 16 giveaways. The Raiders own the worst turnover differential in the NFL (at -13) and Las Vegas' 59 points allowed following giveaways lead the league.

Kansas City forced a season-high three takeaways last week and will have an opportunity for another productive game on Sunday, but the Chiefs can't take Las Vegas lightly. The Raiders drew even in terms of turnover margin with Baltimore in Week 2, and the result was a Raiders' victory.

5. The Chiefs will need to contain Raiders' rookie tight end Brock Bowers.

The top priority for the Chiefs' defense on Sunday will need to be slowing down Bowers, who ranks second in the NFL with 47 catches for 477 yards. Only Jaguars' wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has more receiving yards among all rookies (with 513), and only Kyle Pitts (484 in 2021) had more through seven career games among all tight ends in league history.

Bowers has been explosive, exemplified by his five grabs of 25+ yards, and no matter who has been at quarterback for the Raiders (whether it be Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell), his 60 targets are nearly twice as many as the second-most targeted player on the team (wide receiver Jakobi Meyers with 36).

It's all to say that the Raiders will be a challenge despite their 2-5 record, but the Chiefs are often at their best in these divisional matchups as quarterback Patrick Mahomes aims to move to 19-1 on the road against the AFC West for his career.
