By Steve Kaut, KSHB-TVHere's a sentence Chiefs fans of a certain age never thought they'd read:
The Oakland Raiders have the worst offense in the National Football League.
That's right, the team that brought us The Mad Bomber, The Snake and Warren Wells averages just 215 yards of total offense per game.
The Chiefs aren't much better, ranking just two spots above the Raiders with 257.8 yards per game.
With the Raiders, they are weakest where they need to be the strongest.
JaMarcus Russell can look as bad as any quarterback in NFL history and did for much of the first game between the two teams.
But Russell managed to channel Darryl Lamonica and Kenny Stabler late in the game and drove the Raiders to an ugly 13-10 victory.
Russell's quarterback rating this season is 48.3, an F no matter what kind of grading curve you use.
However, and with teams as bad as the Chiefs and Raiders this season, there's always a catch.
In this case, it's that the Chiefs can't stop the pass.
The Chiefs defense ranks 30th in pass defense, giving up just over 250 yards per game.
This could mean the kind of plays where JaMarcus Russell either throws a 75-yard, no one near the receiver touchdown pass or a Chiefs defensive back looks like the intended receiver and runs and interception back for a touchdown.
That's how teams get to be 1-7 and 2-6.
The Chiefs and Raiders will wear throwback uniforms for Sunday's game.
For Chiefs fans, let's hope the team plays like the 1962 Texans and the Raiders stagger through the game like one of their teams from the early 1960s.
The Chiefs have won their last six games in Oakland, according to the comprehensive weekly press release from the Chiefs public relations department.
Here's this weeks prediction: It's won't be pretty, but the Chiefs win again, 23-16.
