Las Vegas Raiders X-Factors against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2
By Nick Ellis
The Las Vegas Raiders role into Monday Night Football as massive underdogs, but there may be a few players that can change that.
The Las Vegas Raiders will be home against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, as the team will host its first ever game in Las Vegas. The Saints are one of the best teams in the league, and it is going to take some surprise players to step up and make a difference if the Raiders want to have a chance to win.
Let’s take a look at four players that could be difference makers on Monday Night.
Cory Littleton
Like last week, Cory Littleton will be a massive part of the Raiders having a chance to win this game, but in an even bigger role this week. Against the Panthers, Littleton was all over the field, maintaining Christian McCaffrey to an extent, and dominating the Panthers tight ends.
This week, both positions will be extremely important to contain, as the Saints have a similar skilled back in Alvin Kamara, and a much better tight end in Jared Cook. Cory Littleton will have his hands full against the Saints, but he should be well prepared for the challenge.
