PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : RAIDERS : Bye Week Comes at a Good Time

One reason why having a bye this weekend comes at a good time for the Raiders is that they have an extra week to prepare for the Kansas City Chiefs, whom they will play Oct. 3. With quarterback Joe Montana and new offensive coordinator Paul Hackett, Kansas City offers a different look on offense compared to years past. Overall, the Raiders lead the series with the Chiefs, 35-28-2. However, Kansas City has won five of the last six.

After three games, the Raiders lead the NFL in the takeaway-giveaway department. They have created an league-leading 10 turnovers, while only turning the ball over twice (two interceptions).
