| (MySportsbook) - It's a Week 17 game in which one team has already clinched a playoff berth and the other is guaranteed non-entry into the tournament. Yet both Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley and Oakland Raiders counterpart Tom Cable claim motivation for this Sunday's clash at Arrowhead Stadium remains at 100 percent. Haley, whose Chiefs engineered a surprising turnaround from 4-12 last season to AFC West champions this year, can lock up a No. 3 seed for the conference playoffs with a victory in th |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - The Oakland Raiders have spent years acquiring speedy players they hoped could deliver touchdowns from almost any spot on the field. Those speedsters finally delivered the game-breaking plays this season that have been lacking so much the past few years as Oakland finished up a seven-year run of losing at least 11 games a season. With big plays from players like Darren McFadden and Jacoby Ford, the Raiders (7-8) have posted one of their most productive offensive seasons ever. But |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - Richard Seymour says it's an honor to go to the Pro Bowl for the first time with the Oakland Raiders. Whether it will be is his last time wearing a Raiders helmet remains to be seen. Seymour was one of three Raiders selected for the Pro Bowl, joining cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and punter Shane Lechler. Seymour made a big impact in his second season in Oakland after being acquired in a trade from New England. He has 5 1/2 sacks and has provided leadership for a young defense that fea |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - Now that their playoff hopes are officially extinguished, the Oakland Raiders are left looking to achieve much smaller goals. A season-ending victory in Kansas City on Sunday would end a streak of seven straight losing seasons and give Oakland (7-8) its first perfect record in the AFC West since 1976. Those are just consolation prizes right now for a team that believed it was good enough to win the division. The Raiders will be left out of the playoffs once again, having been elim |
