Hello, I'm Matt Williams, this is the Locked-on NFL podcast. It's Thursday around

Noonish. I hope you enjoyed yesterday's show. Chatting with Mike was a blast, as always. If you

haven't, go check it out. We went around the AFC. We talked Steelers. We talked Giants.

The projects he was working on. We've got an interesting game tonight, and let's preview that

first. We were brought to you by my bookie.

I'll tell you about them in a moment.

But the Chiefs, coming off a tough loss, but a respectable one, the Steelers, go to Oakland,

who have been dismal.

I mean, car injury can be a factor, but no matter what, this team is not playing well.

I mentioned this to Mike yesterday.

Could we envision a scenario where the Raiders turn their season around and become

kind of what we thought they were in the preseason as a OC contender?

Sure, but there's a lot of work to be done.

And this is going to be a really stiff test.

Maybe at home on a national stage, we see their A game on both sides of the ball.

And I could see some things that they probably like right now on paper going into this game.

When they have the ball, I think they really need to feed Lynch.

And it seemed last week like they were playing to not get car hit.

And I get that coming back, you know, back injury, bad injuries.

You know, one of your franchise players getting killed.

But you also can't play bashful in this league. And we saw on Lebian Bell run all over the Chiefs. And I think the

Raiders could come out with six offensive linemen and try to bludgeon these guys with Lynch.
