Las Vegas Raiders blown out by Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
By Brad Weiss
Looking Ahead
The Raiders will now head East once again in Week 8, as they travel to Cleveland to take on Baker Mayfield and the Browns. The Browns were able to take care of business against division rival Cincinnati in Week 7, as Mayfield threw for five touchdowns in a 37-34 come-from-behind victory.
Cleveland moved their record to 5-2 with the win, as they try and keep pace in an AFC North that features three possible playoff teams in the Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Baltimore Ravens. Las Vegas should have Johnathan Abram back next weekend, bolstering their secondary, and Richie Incognito could come off injured reserve as well.
For the Raiders, this game could have huge AFC playoff implications, as the hope is that both teams are battling for at least a Wild Card later on in the season. The Browns did lose Odell Beckham Jr. this week, and Las Vegas is getting healthier, but their defense is going to have to play way better against what can be a dynamic Browns offense.
