NFL: OAKLAND (2-8) at KANSAS CITY (4-6) <h3>Chiefs seeks 10th straight win over Raiders</h3> <div class="pre">Oakland (2-8) at Kansas City (4-6) 1:00 pm EST</div> KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- The Kansas City Chiefs greeta welcome opponent as it looks to end a three-game losingstreak. The struggling Chiefs look to get back on track when thearchrival Oakland Raiders visit Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. Kansas City has beaten the Raiders nine consecutive times,including a 12-10 victory at Oakland on October 21. Larry Johnson rushed for 112 yards in that one but was hurt thefollowing week and the Chiefs have not won since. After dropping back-to-back home games to Green Bay and Denver,Chiefs coach Herman Edwards opted to switch to Brodie Croyle atquarterback. Croyle had his first career start and played reasonably well ina 13-10 loss at Indianapolis last week, finishing 19-of-27 for169 yards with one touchdown. Kansas City's running game has struggled without Johnson, whowill miss his third straight game with a mid-foot sprain. Priest Holmes, who started the past two games, retired exactlyone month after making his season debut October 21 against theOakland Raiders, completing an improbable return from multipleneck and head injuries which sidelined him for two years. However, Holmes suffered another neck injury in last Sunday's13-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts and decided to call itquits after meeting with doctors this week. That leaves the running game in the hands of rookie backs KolbySmith and Gilbert Harris. Smith, a fifth-round draft choice has 10 carries for 19 yardsthis season. Harris was promoted from the practice squad uponthe retirement of Holmes. One positive for Kansas City in the loss to the Colts was thestellar play of its defense, which held Peyton Manning without atouchdown pass for the first time this season. The Raiders are mired in a six-game losing streak and yielded164 yards rushing and three touchdowns to backup running backChester Taylor in a 29-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings lastweekend. Last week's contest was the only time Oakland surpassed 20points during the six-game slide. Following two ineffective performances by Josh McCown,quarterback Daunte Culpepper returned as the starter againstMinnesota, throwing for 344 yards on 23-of-40 passing. Placekicker Sebastian Janikowski continues to provide the bulkof Oakland's offense. He was 5-of-5 against the Vikings withfield goals and has nailed 12-of-13 attempts.
