In this story:

There are three things to watch for in Sunday's Week 12 matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders (5-6) and the Kansas City Chiefs (7-3).

It starts with Raiders running back Josh Jacobs. With 74 scrimmage yards in Sunday's game, Jacobs would become one of nine running backs since the year 2000 to record 1,000-plus scrimmage yards in each of his first five seasons in the NFL. Jacobs would also be joining Marcus Allen as the only two players in Raiders history to accomplish the feat. 

He would also be the only running back to record 1,000 yards from scrimmage in each season since 2019.

Jacobs has 123 carries for 574 yards and has scored four touchdowns in eight games against the Chiefs in his career.

Wide receiver Davante Adams is also a player to watch for as the Raiders take on the Chiefs. With six receptions Sunday, Adams would reach 70 receptions on the season, which would be his eighth consecutive season with 70-plus catches, the longest active streak in the NFL and tied for the sixth-longest streak in NFL history. He would be one of just 10 players in NFL history to record 70-plus catches in eight straight seasons.

Adams has 14 catches for 239 yards and has scored two touchdowns in four games against the Chiefs in his career.

Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby also has a chance to make franchise history on Sunday. With 1.5 sacks Sunday, Crosby would reach 49.5 career sacks, which would be the most in Raiders history by a player in his first five NFL seasons. With six tackles and 2.0 sacks tomorrow, Crosby would become the ninth player in NFL history since 1994 to record 300-plus tackles and 50.0-plus sacks through his first five seasons.

Crosby has 18 solo tackles, 12 assisted tackles and 4.0 sacks in eight games against the Chiefs in his career.

Be on the watch for these Raiders as all of them are on record-breaking watch for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium.

The Silver and Black will return home this week to celebrate Thanksgiving and take on their AFC West rival, the Kansas City Chiefs, on Sunday, November 26, at 4:25 p.m. EST/1:25 p.m. PST.
