The Kansas City Chiefs
and Oakland Raiders
of the National Football League
(NFL) are considered to have one of professional football's
most bitter rivalries. Since the American Football League
was established in 1960
, the Chiefs and Raiders have shared the same division, first being the AFL Western Conference, and since the AFL-NFL merger
, the AFC West
.
The Chiefs lead the regular season series 55–47–2. The Kansas City Chiefs won the most recent meeting 28–0 on October 23, 2011 at the O.co Coliseum.
The Chiefs are ahead in playoff
match-ups with a record of 2-1. The Chiefs are one of only two teams in the NFL with a winning record against the Raiders (with 10 or more contests).
when the Chiefs were known as the Dallas Texans. The Texans defeated the Raiders 34-16 in the team's first game at Oakland
, while the Raiders defeated the Texans 20-19 at Dallas
.
The rivalry did not become so apparent until the Kansas City Athletics baseball
team moved to Oakland, California
in 1967
. In 1969
, the Kansas City Royals
expansion team was placed in the same division as the Athletics. The 1966 Chiefs team
participated in the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game
, later known as the Super Bowl
. The Chiefs and Raiders both had identical 12-2 records in 1968 and faced off in a playoff game to decide who would go to face the New York Jets
for the AFL Championship. The Raiders won 41-6.
The following year, in 1969
, the Raiders defeated the Chiefs twice in the regular season and went on to win the AFL Western Conference title. The two teams met in the 1969 AFL Championship Game at Oakland and the underdog Chiefs won 17-7. The Chiefs participated in Super Bowl IV
a week later and defeated the NFL's heavily favored
Minnesota Vikings
. It was not until 1976
that Oakland would finally win their first Super Bowl championship
.
In the first meeting between the teams during the 1970 NFL season
–both team's first in the newly merged NFL–the Chiefs held a 17-14 lead late in the fourth quarter and appeared ready to run out the clock. Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson rolled around right end and gained enough yardage for a first down, and as he fell to the ground, Raiders defensive end Ben Davidson
dove into Dawson with his helmet; in retaliation, Davidson was attacked by Chiefs wide receiver Otis Taylor. After a bench-clearing brawl, Davidson and Taylor were ejected, and the penalties that were called nullified the first down under the rules at the time. Kansas City was forced to punt, and the Raiders took advantage, as George Blanda
nailed a 48-yard field goal with eight seconds left to secure a 17-17 tie. The tie proved to be costly for the Chiefs, as Oakland clinched the first AFC West championship with a 20-6 victory in Oakland in Week 13. Due to this incident, the NFL changed the rules so that Davidson's personal foul would have been enforced at the end of the play, and Taylor's penalty would have been assessed only after the Chiefs had been awarded a first down.
The Chiefs defeated the Raiders by a score of 42-10 in the 1975 season
, prompting the Chiefs' live horse
mascot
Warpaint to circle the field after each touchdown scored. After the game, Raiders coach John Madden
said "We couldn't beat the Chiefs, but we damn near killed their horse."
The Raiders would go on to win two more Super Bowl titles in 1980
and 1983
while the Chiefs were considered to be one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Raiders won most of the games between the 1970s and 1980s. Following their victory in Super Bowl IV, the Chiefs returned to the playoffs in 1971
, but lost in double overtime to the Miami Dolphins
in the divisional round in the longest game in NFL history, the final game at Municipal Stadium. Following that loss, Kansas City did not return to the playoffs until 1986.
In the final game of the 1999 season
, the Chiefs and Raiders faced off at Arrowhead Stadium
. A win for the Chiefs would put them in the playoffs. A game plagued by special teams mistakes for the Chiefs, including three attempted kickoffs that ended up out of bounds by kickoff specialist Jon Baker, helped keep the Raiders in the game and stop the Chiefs from sealing the victory. The game went into overtime and, helped by favorable field position after the third and final kickoff out of bounds, former Chief Rich Gannon
drove the Raiders into Chiefs territory, setting up the game-winning field goal and knocking the Chiefs out of the playoffs, their first win at Arrowhead since 1988.
On October 21, 2007, the Chiefs defeated the Raiders for a record ninth straight victory. On November 25, 2007, the Raiders defeated the Chiefs in Arrowhead for Oakland's first victory over Kansas City since December 23, 2002.
On September 14, 2008, the Raiders would defeat the Chiefs, 23-8, for the second consecutive time in Arrowhead Stadium. Rookie Darren McFadden would compile 210 rushing yards and a touchdown. On November 30, 2008, the Chiefs would defeat the Raiders for the sixth consecutive time in Oakland.
On September 20, 2009, the Raiders defeated the Chiefs, 13-10, in Arrowhead Stadium for the third consecutive time. The Chiefs became one of the few teams to lose to quarterback JaMarcus Russell.
On November 15, 2009, the Chiefs defeated the Raiders, 16-10, in the Oakland Coliseum for the Chiefs' seventh consecutive victory in Oakland.
On November 7, 2010, the Raiders would defeat the Chiefs in overtime, 20-23, in a match-up that rekindled the relevance of the rivalry between the Raiders and Chiefs. It marked the 99th time these teams have met in the regular season and 102nd overall. On January 2, 2011, the Raiders would also defeat the Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium for the fourth consecutive time, 31-10, to finish a sweep of the AFC West.
On October 3, 2011, a fan of the Oakland Raiders filed a lawsuit against the Kansas City Chiefs and two unidentified Chiefs fans, because the plaintiff claims that security did nothing as he was beaten during a brawl at Arrowhead Stadium in 2009.
As of 2010, 13 of the last 15 games between them have been decided by 7 points or fewer.
As of week 16 of the 2010 NFL season
, the Chiefs and Raiders have played 100 regular season games and three post-season games against each other. The Chiefs lead the series 54–47–2 in regular season play and 2–1 in post-season meetings. The Chiefs have shut-out the Raiders three times (1981, 1997, and 2011) and Oakland has done the same once to Kansas City (2002). The record in overtime
results is 2-1 in favor of the Raiders.
