Las Vegas Raiders at Cleveland Browns: 3 things to watch in Week 8

The Las Vegas Raiders head to Ohio to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 8, here are 3 things to watch for in this AFC matchup.

The Las Vegas Raiders still can’t catch a break with their schedule as right after they played the NFC South leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they travel to face the surprising 5-2 Cleveland Browns. The Browns’ two losses have some in their division to two of the best teams in the NFL in undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers and 5-1 Baltimore Ravens so they may be even better than their record suggests.

Cleveland has leaned heavily on their rushing offense and in games where they have taken care of the ball they have usually come out on top. The Raiders on the other hand have leaned on their passing offense and are struggling to run the ball at the moment, so this will be an interesting matchup of strengths and weaknesses.

On the other side of the ball there will be some fascinating matchups as two defenses who struggle in different categories will be matching up with talented offenses. With that in mind let’s dive in to 3 things to watch for as the Las Vegas Raiders take on the Cleveland Browns.
