00:00You look at the schedule, you see Chiefs versus Raiders, and you might think,
00:04okay, it's just another Week 7 divisional game.
00:07But when these two teams meet, the story isn't about one Sunday afternoon.
00:11No, it's written in over 60 years of bad blood, disrespect, and just pure, unadulterated animosity.
00:19So let's start with what's happening today.
00:22I mean, you look at this thing on paper, and it looks like a complete and total mismatch.
00:27You've got the Chiefs at home, they're desperate to get above 500,
00:31and they're favored by a whopping 13.5 points over a struggling Raiders team.
00:37Seems pretty straightforward, right?
00:38Well, that's the beautiful thing about this rivalry.
00:41The records, the betting lines, you can pretty much throw them right out the window.
00:44To really get why this game means so much, and why literally anything can happen when these two get together,
00:49we've got to rewind the clock way back.
00:52See, this whole feud, it wasn't born on the field during some heated game.
00:57Nope.
00:57This started at the very top, in the owners' boxes, with two of the most influential,
01:03and just fundamentally different men in the history of professional football.
01:07I mean, right from the very beginning, when the American Football League kicked off in 1960,
01:12these two franchises were bitter divisional rivals.
01:16All that tension basically boiled over in the final AFL championship game in 1969,
01:21where the underdog Chiefs went into Oakland and stunned the Raiders to earn a trip to Super Bowl IV,
01:26which, you know, they famously won.
01:29And this, right here, is the core of the whole conflict.
01:33On one side, you have Lamar Hunt, this gentlemanly diplomat who helped create the league
01:37and was always thinking about what was good for everybody.
01:40And on the other side, you got the total opposite,
01:42the confrontational rebel Al Davis, whose only philosophy was just win, baby.
01:47He carried himself with this arrogance that just rubbed everyone the wrong way,
01:51especially the Chiefs.
01:53Okay, so the foundation of dislike was there.
01:56But the rivalry, man, it absolutely ignited in 1989.
02:01That's when one coach showed up in Kansas City
02:04and basically transformed a business disagreement between owners
02:07into pure institutionalized hatred.
02:11And that coach was Marty Schottenheimer.
02:13For Schottenheimer, you have to understand, this was deeply personal.
02:17He absolutely revered his owner, Lamar Hunt.
02:21And he saw Al Davis and his whole swagger as a profound sign of disrespect.
02:25So for him, beating the Raiders wasn't just about winning a football game.
02:29It became a personal crusade to defend his owner's honor.
02:31And believe me, this wasn't some quiet mission he was on.
02:35Oh no, the players felt this every single day.
02:40Former Chiefs defensive back Kevin Ross said Schottenheimer talked about the Raiders
02:43with a level of hate he had never heard before in his life.
02:46It wasn't just strategy.
02:48It was an emotional command.
02:50So Schottenheimer basically weaponized this idea of disrespect.
02:54During Raider week, the whole team facility was transformed.
02:58I'm talking signs in the elevators, signs in the locker room,
03:01and in every single team meeting, he would just drill this one idea into their heads
03:06over and over and over.
03:08They don't respect you.
03:09He taught his guys that the Raiders were a cheap shot team that played the game the wrong way.
03:13And the results?
03:15Well, you just can't argue with them.
03:17This crusade of disrespect led to one of the most lopsided periods in this rivalry's history.
03:22Schottenheimer's Chiefs absolutely dominated Al Davis' Raiders,
03:25winning an incredible 18 out of 21 games against them.
03:28But it wasn't just about the owners in the suits or the coaches on the sidelines.
03:33The feud got amplified, I mean turned up to 11, when key players started crossing enemy lines,
03:38turning this rivalry into a stage for some very personal revenge.
03:42You know, even years before Marty ever showed up,
03:46Lamar Hunt had already set a pretty bitter tone.
03:49In a move people now call a glorious fleecing, Hunt traded his backup quarterback to the Raiders.
03:55And what did he get in return?
03:57Oh, just the first overall pick in the next draft,
04:01which he used to grab Hall of Fame defensive tackle Buck Buchanan,
04:05a guy who became a cornerstone of that Super Bowl team.
04:08So fast forward a few decades, and now you have a player going the other way.
04:13But the motivation?
04:14It was exactly the same.
04:16Vengeance.
04:17Raiders legend Marcus Allen felt totally betrayed by Al Davis.
04:20So, in 1993, he signed with the Chiefs, and he said himself,
04:24he did it to play with Joe Montana and to get a shot at Al Davis twice a year.
04:30And in his new coach, Marcus Allen found a perfect partner in crime.
04:34He and Schottenheimer were kindred spirits in their shared hatred for the Raiders.
04:39Teammates said that during those games against his old team,
04:41Allen's intensity was just off the charts, like nothing they'd ever seen.
04:45He wasn't just playing to win, he personally wanted to crush Al Davis.
04:49So, you take all that history, the disrespect, the Crusades, the betrayals,
04:54how does that all show up on the field today?
04:57Well, the names and the faces have definitely changed.
05:00But trust me, the bad blood remains.
05:03In the modern era, the story has been one of Chiefs' dominance.
05:07And really, it's been the Patrick Mahomes show.
05:09His career record as a starter against the Raiders is, well, it's just staggering.
05:14Twelve wins and only two losses.
05:16It's been a rough go for the silver and black.
05:19But, and this is a huge but, that record does not mean this rivalry is dead.
05:24Not by a long shot.
05:26Even with Mahomes at the helm, the Raiders have this wild knack for playing spoiler.
05:30They pulled off a shocking upset on Christmas Day just last season.
05:34And back in 2020, they marched into Arrowhead and handed the undefeated Chiefs their first loss of the year.
05:40The Raiders, they just live for these moments.
05:43And that brings us all the way back to today's game.
05:47You've got the Chiefs getting a key weapon back in Rasheed Rice.
05:50The Raiders are probably going to be without their star tight end, Brock Bowers.
05:54The stakes are crystal clear.
05:55Kansas City is fighting to stay in the divisional race.
05:58And Las Vegas?
05:59They would love nothing more than to ruin their day and pour some gasoline back on this ancient fire.
06:05Because at the end of the day, this was never just about football, was it?
06:08It's a clash of philosophies, of personalities, and of cultures that has stretched across generations.
06:14From Hunt vs. Davis to Schottenheimer's crusade to Mahomes vs. whoever is wearing that silver and black.
06:21So, what's the big takeaway here?
06:24What does this all mean?
06:25It means that in this rivalry, history isn't just in the past.
06:30It always has a seat on the bench.
06:32The weight of 60 years of hatred often matters a whole lot more than any stat sheet.
06:37When these two teams play, you can throw the records right out the window.
