![]() Previewing Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders on NFL Week 7 Thursday Night Football. Did Pittsburgh lay the blueprint for stopping Kansas City’s offense? Sure, but it’s not something that every coach in the league didn’t already know. The Steelers played straight zone coverages (often Cover 2) where defenders could keep eyes on Alex Smith and the Chiefs’ deceptive misdirection tactics, and Kansas City didn’t create voids in those zones until late in the game. It will be shocking if the Raiders don’t play a lot of straight zone on Thursday night. Not only is that the easiest approach for Oakland on limited preparation time against a complex offense, but the Raiders have also been forced to play more Cover 2 lately, due to injuries to cornerbacks Gareon Conley and David Amerson. Oct 12, 2017. It's a Thursday night matchup with a surprising amount on the line. Here's why it matters -- beyond just a fifth win. Check out our quick and easy schedule for every Thursday Night Football (TNF) game in 2017. Expectations were low for this week's Thursday Night Football game, but the Rams and the 49ers—led by their young coaches—put on a show to remember. By Jenny Vrentas. September 22, 2017. Three quick thoughts from Rams 41, 49ers 39: 1. Just like we all predicted—ahem—49ers-Rams was the most entertaining. This could be a big night for Kareem Hunt through the air. Given Oakland’s issues at linebacker, expect the rookie running back to run a few downfield routes. (With Charcandrick West out, the alternative is to keep Hunt in as an extra pass protector, where he’s underdeveloped.) The Chiefs are one of the few teams who send running backs on vertical routes, as opposed to routes only underneath and in the flats. Defenders are unaccustomed to seeing this. In most zones, the linebackers are responsible here. The Raiders’ had better be ready. Speaking of Oakland’s linebackers, NaVorro Bowman’s arrival couldn’t have come soon enough. The longtime Niner is a sound, sagacious veteran—the opposite of everything Oakland has had at linebacker this season—and it’ll be interesting to see how much he plays after joining the team just three days ago. As soon as Bowman is up to speed on Jack Del Rio and coordinator Ken Norton’s scheme, he’ll likely see every snap. Shared a new track this week called 'Light The Night Up,' which will serve as the new theme song for the NFL Network's Thursday Night Football broadcast. 'Light the Night Up' is an amalgamation of the different sounds that the singer has mastered so farover her career: the slinky R&B feel of her mixtapes and last year's EP Nightride, the poppy dance mood that characterized non-album singles ' and ',' as well as an unfamiliar EDM-leaning sound that feels like it belongs in an Ultra Music Festival set rather than a Tinashe song. Tinashe to a fan on Twitter that 'this is not a single,' but reassured them she's putting out 'new music soon.' Joyride has gone through numerous delays, singles and videos since first being announced in 2015.Tinashe still has yet to confirm a release date for the album, due out on RCA.
