The Oakland Raiders head into week 14 as a struggling team of late, but with a win over Tennessee they’d put themselves right back into playoff consideration. Here’s three players to watch as the Titans head into Oakland.
The Oakland Raiders and Tennessee Titans both head into Week 14 with their sights set on the sixth seed in the playoffs with only four games remaining. The AFC Wild Card race is down to around five teams, so each week will be as important as the next moving forward.
The Raiders, who have scuffled offensively in recent outings have been stellar at protecting their home turf, posting a record of 4-1 when playing in Oakland. They will need every bit of Raider Nation in this one, as they will be without right tackle Trent Brown, and have really struggled as of late.
The Titans are currently one of the hottest teams in football, having won five of their last six games. Mike Vrabel’s defense and the new combination on offense of Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry have rejuvenated their team and enter Week 14 with a record of 7-5.
Here’s three players to watch in week 14’s showdown between the Raiders and Titans.
