Las Vegas Raiders X-Factors against the Denver Broncos in Week 10

Clelin Ferrell

Clelin Ferrell has played good football thus far, but he needs to do a little more for where he was drafted. Although Ferrell has been in the backfield often, and caused a lot of pressures, he has not recorded a single sack this season.

This week will be the difference, as Ferrell will be in the backfield early and often, recording his first sack and forcing pressures all game. The Broncos have allowed 21 sacks this year, and although the Raiders have not done a good job of getting to the quarterback this year, Ferrell will change that this week.

Along with getting to the quarterback, Ferrell has been a solid run-stopper this year, and the Broncos will likely rely on the running game against the Raiders. If Ferrell plays well, the Raiders have a great chance to win this game, and this could end up being a game that catapults him as a legitimate threat against the pass.
