From the episode
The question I have is, can they do that against a resurgent Chiefs defense that has a bunch of DBs that are playing out of their mind and have not one, not two, but three corners that could match up on Brock Bowers and potentially do some damage?
STACKED’s take
Cousins faces Chiefs' top-3 EPA defense; Raiders' special teams edge may be neutralized by Kansas City.
Kirk Cousins and the Raiders offense will face a resurgent Chiefs defense that is top three in total EPA earned this season and features three corners capable of matching up on Brock Bowers. The Chiefs' defensive scheme, led by Steve Spagnuolo, is expected to deploy cornerbacks directly on Bowers rather than traditional linebacker or safety coverage, which could neutralize Bowers' primary advantage. The Raiders' special teams advantage (starting field position at 39.9 yard line, best in NFL) may be dialed back against the Chiefs' 11th-best special teams unit, putting more pressure on Cousins and the offense to generate real yards rather than hidden yards. The source notes that Cousins will need to rely on Bowers and other receivers to make up the difference if the special teams advantage is neutralized.
