This represents the first time in history that the Raiders will begin a season with a 3-0 record.\n\nPatrick Mahomes, the Kansas City quarterback, anticipates a \"very hostile environment\" for his team as they play away against their division rivals. He observed the Raiders' impressive performance, noting, \"They're playing great football, you can see it on tape, that 3-0 record is real.\"\n\nMahomes speaks highly of the Raiders' defense, led by star pass rusher Maxx Crosby, who is known for his aggressive style. \"They have great players everywhere, and they fly to the football. They turn the football over,\" Mahomes commented, emphasizing the need for the Chiefs to match their intensity.\n\nDespite their own impressive record, the Chiefs acknowledge the challenge ahead. They have secured victories over the Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, and Miami Dolphins. On the other hand, the Raiders boast wins against the Dolphins, Los Angeles Chargers, and New Orleans Saints.",
