AFC West Week 6 Preview: Prime-Time
The Las Vegas Raiders are fresh off their Monday Night Football victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 5, and their AFC West foes will all be playing in a prime-time game in Week 6.
It starts with the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football and will end with the Los Angeles Chargers taking on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football.
Here's what to watch for in those games:
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs
If there's a match-up the Broncos don't want to help get them back into the win column this week, it should be with Kansas City.
Denver, which is last in the NFL in total defense, will he to one of the most challenging places to play in Arrowhead Stadium and will be tasked with stopping the defending Super Bowl champions, the Chiefs, who are off to a 4-1 start, with a four-game winning streak.
The Broncos come off a 31-21 loss to the New York Jets at Empower Field, a game they led at halftime before allowing 23 points in the second half.
Kansas City, meanwhile, enters the game after holding off the Minnesota Vikings, 27-20 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Chiefs have a top-10 defense and top-10 offense. Their offensive specialty, of course, is in the passing game.
Denver is at the bottom of the league in rushing defense, so Kansas City can go either way regarding its offensive game plan.
Dallas Cowboys at Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers will be well-rested from a Week 5 bye going into their home game on Monday night.
But that doesn't mean the test ahead will be any easier.
Los Angeles will be hosting an angry Cowboys team was demolished in their last prime-time game against one of their biggest rivals, the San Francisco 49ers.
While the Chargers have one of the better offenses in the league, Dallas has a top-five defense and is holding its opponents to under 17 points per game.
The Silver and Black will stay home at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to play the New England Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 15, at 4:05 p.m. EDT/1:05 p.m. PDT.
