It's been a while since the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos played one another. As division rivals, both in the AFC West, which the Kansas City Chiefs won for the eighth straight time in Week 17, these two teams play one another twice a year.
The last time they played one another was in Week 1, and now it's the last week of the season, which means these two teams are likely vastly different.
In Week 1, the Raiders got the win, but barely. The game came down to the wire, as it often did between these two teams, and it saw the Raiders win 17-16. Now, it's the last game of the season, and these two teams have so many things different about them than the last time they met.

Now Antonio Pierce is the interim head coach, and this is the last chance he has to show that he deserves the job. So, whether both of these teams are pretty much done from the playoffs, there are implications.
The Week 18 schedule was released, and this game will kick off at 1:25 p.m. PT on Sunday. During the last week, sometimes there are games on Saturday, but the Raiders will get to host their last game of the season at home, with hopes that they can finish the season 8-9.
