1. The Raiders have not intercepted a pass all year. They hold the NFL record for longest streak by a team without an interception at 8 games, and will look to break their own record against Jay Cutler and the Dolphins.
2. The Kansas City Chiefs were originally known as the Dallas Texans from 1960-1962 before moving to Kansas City for the 1963 season. The Dallas Texans owner, Lamar Hunt, is credited with starting the AFL in 1960. The Dallas Cowboys were created in 1960 as well in an effort to keep fans from watching the AFL. The NFL didn’t want to expand or let any new teams into their league, so Lamar Hunt created his own league, the AFL. The Dallas Texans won the AFL Championship in 1961, and were more successful than the Cowboys during the 3-years they were both in Dallas. The Dallas Texans were 25-17 over the three years, and the Cowboys went 9-28-3.
3. Matthew Stafford has gone 1-6 in games in Green Bay, and 3-10 overall. The one win in Green Bay came on 11/15/2015 in an 18-16 victory over the 10.5 point favorite Green Bay Packers. With 32 seconds left Aaron Rodgers threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Justin Perillo, but then failed to connect on the 2-point conversion that would have tied the game.
4. In Adrian Peterson’s four career games against the 49ers he has amassed 68 carries for 205 yards, which equals out to 3.01 YPC. He has also never scored a touchdown, receiving or rushing against the 49ers.
5. The Texans have won 3 games in a row versus the Colts which is the longest streak in franchise history. They had never even won back to back games against the Colts until their second game of 2015 and their first game of 2016. The 3 wins have all been within one score, averaging out to 4.7 points per win for the Texans.
6. The Kansas City Chiefs are +11 in turnover differential this season, 2nd behind the Bills who played Thursday night. The Chiefs finished last season 1st in turnover differential, tied with the Raiders at +16 making the Chiefs (an insane) +27 over the past two seasons. The Raiders this year are 28th with -6, one of the big reasons the Raiders are sitting at 3-5 while the Chiefs are 6-2. The Cowboys are tied at 11th in the league at +2 this season, which is a factor in their 4-3 record. Turnovers could decide the winner of the Chiefs versus Cowboys game this Sunday. Alex Smith last played against the Cowboys as a member of the Chiefs in 2013 winning 17-16 at Arrowhead Stadium throwing for 2 TDs and 0 INTs. In that game the Chiefs had 0 turnovers and the Cowboys had 2.
