After watching film of both teams, Scouts Inc. breaks down key elements of the Week 15 Chiefs-Raiders matchup.
• Sustain drives: Neither team is particularly proficient when it comes to converting on third down. In Week 14 the Chiefs converted on just one of their 11 opportunities against the Browns while the Raiders converted on just two of their eight chances against Denver.

Oakland is ranked 26th in run defense.
