The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to take part in the second consecutive edition of Black Friday Football in the NFL. While people will be enjoying the leftovers of their Thanksgiving meals, the Chiefs have business to take care of, hosting a Las Vegas Raiders game in Week 13.

These two teams have had very different seasons, with the Chiefs going 10-1 and defending their back-to-back Super Bowl titles with their lives. Now only two wins under their belt, the Raiders appear primed to hit the reset button once again, while the other two teams that have struggled alongside them in the division are trending in the right direction.

That being said, not only are division games difficult for every team in the league, but the Chiefs never outscore their opponents. That’s why you can safely bet that KC will have to show some magic again in the final minutes because that’s what this team does.

With the Chiefs playing on Amazon Prime for the first time this season, fans may not know who the broadcast team will be. So let’s talk about that and who will be hosting this rare NFL game on Friday.

Basically, the Chiefs will have their normal Thursday Night Football team for their game on Friday. Michaels, Herbstreit and Hartung have been broadcasting games on Amazon Prime since the 2022 season after Michaels and NBC parted ways. Herbstreit also calls college football games.

Head Referee: Clay Martin

The Chiefs’ head referee this week will be Clay Martin, who started as an NFL referee in 2015. Martin was promoted to referee in 2018, where he has remained ever since. He was the head referee for a game in 2023 and it was the game in London in which the Chiefs beat the Dolphins.

Martin hasn’t reffed many Chiefs games in recent years, but the most notable one he called was the playoff game between the Chiefs and Browns in the 2021 playoffs (2020 season). The Chiefs narrowly won this game despite Patrick Mahomes being forced out due to injury and Chad Henne having to step in and play hero ball.

The Chiefs tend to win the games Martin runs. So let’s hope it stays that way this weekend and that KC can beat the Raiders in 2024.
