Last week: The Raiders won 20-17 on Sunday at Kansas City.
Streaking: Oakland’s win at Kansas City was its first division victory in 17 games, dating to a November 2004 snowstorm in Denver.
Who’s hot: Oakland running back Justin Fargas. He rushed for 139 yards against the Chiefs.
Who’s not: Oakland’s run defense. Chiefs rookie Kolby Smith ran for 150 yards Sunday.
Key stat: Eight of Oakland’s 11 games have been decided by a touchdown or less.
