Justin Simmons is a ball hawk at Safety

When it comes to the defensive backs in this game, Justin Simmons from Denver may be the best of the bunch. Sure, Johnathan Abram is a solid young safety, but he makes way too many mistakes, something that Simmons does not do for the Broncos, as evidence by his play all season long.

Making his first Pro Bowl, Simmons has rounded into a leader in this Broncos secondary and is someone that Carr and Gruden must be aware of at all times. Simmons and this Denver defense really stifled Los Angeles Chargers star rookie quarterback Justin Herbert last week and will have to have a repeat performance against a solid Raiders offense in Week 17.

Turnovers will play a key role in this game, as the Raiders were able to dominate in this department the last time these two teams got together. Simmons is one of the better defensive backs in the league, and if Carr tries him on Sunday, there is a chance he comes away with his fifth interception of the season.
