Kansas City (3-3) at Oakland (2-3) Sunday 4:05 pm EDT

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) - The rivalry between the KansasCity Chiefs and Oakland Raiders goes back to the AmericanFootball League's inaugural season in 1960. Lately, it has beenone-sided in the Chiefs' favor.


On Sunday, Kansas City looks to become the first team to winnine straight games against Oakland when the rivals meet for the97th time.


In recent seasons, the Raiders have been fodder for all AFC Westopponents. Last week, they dropped their 16th straight game toa division foe with a 28-14 loss in San Diego.


While the Chiefs have not lost to the Raiders in the last fourseasons, seven of the eight games have been decided by sixpoints or less. The only exception was Kansas City's 20-9victory here last year.


After an 0-2 start, the Chiefs have won three of their last fourgames to tie the Chargers (3-3) atop the AFC West.

Kansas City's defense has been solid all year, joiningJacksonville as the only teams to hold every opponent under 20points this season. The Chiefs also are tied with Philadelphiafor the league lead in sacks with 19.


Now, Kansas City hopes it has Larry Johnson, the NFL's No. 2rusher last season, back on track.


After being held to a combined 230 yards in the Chiefs' firstfive games, Johnson, ran for 119 yards on 31 carries in lastweek's 27-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also scoredhis first touchdown of the season.


In consecutive weeks, the Raiders will be facing last season'stop two rushers who combined for than 3,600 yards in 2006.

LaDainian Tomlinson broke loose for 198 yards and four rushingtouchdowns last week against Oakland, which was denied its firstthree-game winning streak since 2002.


Chiefs coach Herman Edwards, who is 5-1 against the Raiders,worked with Oakland coach Lane Kiffin's father when he was inTampa Bay. The elder Kiffin served as Edwards' defensivecoordinator from 1966-2000.
