Klay, Klint Kubiak bring brotherly stakes to 49ers-Raiders

Brothers Klay and Klint Kubiak will face each other as coordinators and head coach for the first time when the Raiders visit the 49ers on Sunday. Their family rivalry adds personal stakes to a game between a Las Vegas team seeking to regain the form of its 3-0 start and a San Francisco side in strong form.

Klint’s Raiders rank third in passing yards and sixth in points, with Kirk Cousins at quarterback, while Klay is in his second season as the 49ers’ offensive coordinator. In six previous counted meetings, Klint’s offences averaged 12.7 points against San Francisco, though one defeat was a 41-6 loss; the article also notes that both brothers interviewed for the Raiders’ head-coaching job this year, which went to Klint.
