Raiders have to account for edge rusher Bradley Chubb

The Las Vegas Raiders have struggled to get after the quarterback all season long, something that has been an issue for this franchise since Khalil Mack was traded away before the 2018 campaign. Denver, on the other hand, has notched more than twice as many sacks as the Raiders this season, posting 39 against 19 for the Silver and Black.

Denver has been led in the sacks category by Malik Reed and Bradley Chubb, both linebackers who can come up and play in the box. Chubb missed nearly the entire 2019 campaign due to a partially torn ACL but has returned to post a team-high 7.5 sacks, including 2.5 against New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold back in Week 4.

Chubb is someone that can cause any offense fits, and it will be up to Kolton Miller and Trent Brown to make sure he does not get to quarterback Derek Carr. Carr has struggled with the fumbles this season, and a tough hit by Chubb could force the ball loose, and turn this game on its head.
