Looking Ahead

Following their vital win over the Colts on Sunday, the Oakland Raiders head across to the pond to face the Chicago Bears and a familiar face in Khalil Mack. Another year, another “home” game in London in which the Raiders continue their five-week stretch away from Oakland.

Historically, the Raiders have never played well across the pond, and it’s been the site of many of the Raiders’ worst losses in recent memory. Oakland will undoubtedly be the underdogs against a stellar Chicago Bears defense, and they’ll have their hands full containing their former first-round pick Khalil Mack.

A win in Week 5 would be huge for the season, but it will surely not come easy. The hope is that the Raiders don’t completely fold in London, otherwise it will be a very long plane ride home right before the bye week in Week 6.
