The Origin of the Chiefs and Raiders Rivalry

The Chiefs and Raiders rivalry goes all the way back to the days of the old AFL, when two fledgling franchises struck a deal and one team decisively came out on top.

The Raiders and Chiefs truly hate one another, It's a bad blood rivalry, Raiders-Broncos, or Raiders-Chargers are intense games, But Raiders-Chiefs is #1 in the AFC west.

Love, these old, old school CHIEFS & RAIDERS highlights

I am a Raiders fan. I went to college in the mid west, a lot of Chiefs fans. It was fun to hate each other.

Mad respect for both franchises. Wish the best luck for the Chiefs in the AFC playoffs!!!

As a child growing up, I loved watching this game.

My favorite EVER rivalry in NFL .
Used to love as a kid when Chiefs- Raiders were late game.
Always a fight in 60s-70s.
But this clip showed none of the skirmishes or bench clearing brawls

This is the realest rivalry of the nfl, and I will say it. I respect the Raiders, I’m a Chiefs fan

[Fireyninjadog]

It's one of those rivalries that will never die. It doesn't matter how many wins the chiefs have over the raiders. It's always gonna be an important game for both teams

As a young kid I was able to meet Buck. He was larger than life and a sweet men. #86 Go Chiefs

Len Dawson is a legend. I'd love for my Chiefs to win a Superbowl while Lenny's still here

i have been a raiders fan since day one august 1960. when their colors were gold and black. they were going to be the oakland seniors. yes there is a great rivalry between the chiefs and raiders. but let me say this. the rivalry between the raiders and the steelers is historic. these two teams hate each other with a passion. like lenny dawson said. their games with the raiders were wars. the games between the raiders and steelers were nuclear wars. i am a raiders fan, a collector of raiders memorabilia. and a raiders historian. there will never be another team like THE OAKLAND RAIDERS. pride and poise, commitment to excellence, pro footballs winningest team, the will to win. and of course, JUST WIN BABY. RIP, al, stabler, blanda, tatum, thomas, upshaw, dalby, and many other raider greats. thank you for all the great games you played in gentleman. god bless you.

Loved big Buck Buchanan! He came out to our high school and did an inspiring talk on staying in school, studying hard, avoiding drugs and being a good quality person LONG before any of those programs were common among pro athletes! Thank you Big Buck!
RIP and hopefully I'll see you in God's Heaven where I hope our Lord will allow me to go back to my days at old Municipal Stadium and sit in the Wolfpack bleachers one more time.
Long Live the AFL!!!

I watched these games growing up during the late '60s on up... this type of really tough, competitive sport. I'm 63 yrs old now, and I find the intensity of these games is gone. Today it's more of a business sense of things ($$) than anything else!! Still, those were the days! :)

[jameshowlett]

What's funny is that Buck Buchanan was such an unstoppable player that the Raiders went and drafted Gene Upshaw specifically to block him. Funny how these things end up coming around. Even today decades later hearing all these stories and watching old game footage of the Raiders and the Chiefs gets you pumped like it's still the 60s or 70s.

I became a Chiefs fan when they signed Mike Garrett out of USC. I loved the game on Oct. 20 1968. The Chiefs had only one receiver dressed, attempted only two passes, and rolled over the Raiders 24-10 behind their excellent offensive line.

The same teams that were in the division in the AFL are the same exact to this day in the NFL..
Raiders
Chiefs
Broncos
Chargers..
That's the reason these teams have such a thick rivalry..
They have been beating each other since the beginning
