Can the Raiders’ New Attack Stand Out Against the Bitter Rival?

Can the Raiders’ New Attack Stand Out Against the Bitter Rival?

As the Las Vegas Raiders lost their sixth straight game after returning from their bye week, their offensive performance was unlike anything fans have seen all season under interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner.

Will the Raiders, who are still not done on the offensive side of the game, be able to break away from the Denver Broncos defense? According to Fox Sports, the Denver Broncos head into the matchup against the Raiders, who rank third in defense with an average of 289.4 defensive yards.

The mix of the Broncos’ top-performing defense and a team that has allowed 18 goals in ten games may not be a combination the Raiders want to face in Week 12. The Broncos rank seventh in pass defense with 190.7 passing yards allowed. On average.

The Raiders offense enters Week 12 and their offensive numbers rank 30th among 32 NFL teams. Alexander Mattison and Jakobi Meyers were involved in the offense last week, taking most of the passes and passes unless your name is Brock Bowers.

The Raiders will try to get Bowers whatever it takes. Bowers is coming off his first 100+ receiving yard game against the Miami Dolphins and became the most receptions in a single game by a tight end of all time.

If the Raiders want to compete with the top-ranked Broncos defense, they will be looking to Gardner Minshew to make another big play on the pass. Minshew had a 69.7% completion rate against the Dolphins, threw 282 passes, and even led the team in two touchdowns.

Raiders He might run into trouble trying to run the ball against the Broncos. On average, the Broncos allow 98.6 rushing yards per game and only six rushing touchdowns. The Raiders’ rushing offense ranks last in the league averaging 75.2 yards per game and has only mustered seven rushing touchdowns.

Against Miami, the Raiders are coming off a game in which they put up 328 total yards, an average of 5.3 yards per play. Once again, that wasn’t enough to get the job done, but if the team finds ways to take advantage of the Broncos’ defensive miscues while being effective on defense, their six-game streak could come to an end on Sunday.
