Las Vegas Raiders at Cleveland Browns: 4 keys in the 16-6 victory

The Las Vegas Raiders beat the Cleveland Browns in a wet and wild game inside FirstEnergy Stadium, and here were the 4 keys to a big AFC win on the road.

The Las Vegas Raiders matchup with the Cleveland Browns was truly a sight to behold, as the inclement weather made its presence known all throughout the game. The wicked winds pushed two seemingly easy field goals wide of the goalposts and sent deep balls that looked destined to hit their target way off on to the sidelines.

The game was a defensive struggle thanks to the weather when all along we thought we were headed for 60-point offensive shootout. Las Vegas had to show a different side of itself with this victory and they scratched and clawed on both sides of the ball for what could be a crucial win when deciding the AFC playoff picture.

On paper, only the stats of Josh Jacobs look any good, and perhaps the numbers of the Raiders defense as well thanks to the weather, but at the end of the day the only stat that counts is the number in the win or loss column. Now the Raiders are 4-3 heading in to three straight divisional games but before we look ahead let’s look back at 4 things that proved key to a Silver and Black victory.
