Raiders Play Familiar Faces This Sunday Against the Chiefs

The Las Vegas Raiders play two familiar faces this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs in Allegiant Stadium.
In this story:

Some say that the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs are one of the biggest rivalries in the NFL and this Sunday will be the 125th game between the franchises.

There are two former Raiders the Silver and Black will face this Sunday against the Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Chiefs defensive tackle Neil Farrell Jr. played for the Silver and Black  back during the 2022 NFL regular season. He totaled 12 tackles, with three of them being solos. He also had two quarterback hits in nine games.

The Raiders also will face Chiefs linebacker Darius Harris, who spent some time on the Raiders' practice squad in 2023 before signing with the Chiefs.

This Sunday also features two Raiders who will go up against their former this Sunday.

Raiders cornerback Marcus Peters was selected by the Chiefs in 2015 out of Washington and played in  Kansas City until 2017. During his time, he made 151 tackles, with 130 of them being solos. He also had two interceptions, five forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries.

Raiders assistant Special Teams coach Derius Swinton II also gets to face his former team on Sunday. Swinton II spent one season with the Chiefs in 2012 as a special teams quality control coach.

With an upset on Sunday, the Raiders would improve their all-time AFC West record to 185-178-1. Also, a victory on Sunday would get the Raiders back to .500 with a 6-6 record. This would be the 42nd time in franchise history and the first time since the 2021 regular season, that the Raiders have been .500 or better through the first 12 games of the season.

Be on the lookout this Sunday for these former Raiders going head-to-head this Sunday in Allegiant Stadium.

The Silver and Black will return home this week to celebrate Thanksgiving and take on their AFC West rival, the Kansas City Chiefs, on Sunday, November 26, at 4:25 p.m. EST/1:25 p.m. PST.
