For the second year in a row, the NFL is capitalizing on Black Friday with an exciting matchup, this time featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chiefs, who are the reigning Super Bowl champions with a record of 10-1, will face off against their AFC West rival Raiders, who currently hold a record of 2-9. The game is set to take place at Arrowhead Stadium, where Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce will aim to extend their winning streak while reinforcing their strong position in the AFC playoff race.
Fans can catch the action starting at 3 p.m. Eastern Time, with the game available for streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
Reflecting on last year’s Black Friday game, the New York Jets introduced this new NFL tradition as they hosted the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium. Unfortunately for the Jets, they were defeated 34-13, marking a challenging day that included a notable 99-yard interception return by Jevon Holland of the Dolphins just before halftime.
As the league continues to innovate and expand its schedule, this year’s Black Friday game offers an exciting opportunity for fans to enjoy competitive football following Thanksgiving festivities.
This matchup not only highlights the continued rivalry between the Chiefs and Raiders but also showcases the growing popularity of NFL games on unique days, bringing more excitement to the sport and its fans.
