Chiefs Brace For Raiders On Monday Night Clash
Kansas City coaches vow a plan to beat the Super Bowl champion Oakland Raiders as the Chiefs, winless in two starts, face a high octane Oakland passing attack led by Ken Stabler with receivers Dave Casper Fred Biletnikoff and Clifford Branch. The KC defense is thin with Tim Gray and Tim Collier sidelined and a weak pass rush. Stabler, with seven or eight seconds to throw, faces a young KC secondary after Oakland’s recent 28 4 victory over San Diego.
