The Oakland Raiders have a distinct advantage against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, and here are three players to watch.
The Oakland Raiders host the winless Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, and a lot of players will have a chance to shine. For the Bengals, they could not be going to Oakland at a worse time, as the Raiders are peaking, and they have to invade the Black Hole with a rookie quarterback making his second NFL start.
The Raiders have had a list of different players show up in big moments this season, especially the rookies. The Bengals haven’t won a game this season, and although we cannot take Cincinnati likely, the Raiders should be able to put on one of their best performances of the season.
Look for a balanced effort on both sides of the ball this weekend, as the pass rush is finally starting to come around, and the addition of D.J. Swearinger and Dion Jordan will only make the unit better as a whole. Swearinger will be crucial for a Raiders secondary missing Karl Joseph, while Jordan was once considered one of the better prospects in college football coming out of Oregon.
Let’s take a look at what the Raiders can expose in Week 11, and what players we should watch in this Week 11 matchup.
