Las Vegas vs Chicago Bears: 3 Raiders to watch in 2021 Week 5
By Alex Perl
Las Vegas will take on the Chicago Bears at home in Week 5, and here are three Raiders to keep an eye on during the matchup.
Week five will be the first week during the NFL season the Las Vegas Raiders will sport a loss in their record column, this coming off a horrendous performance Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. Once again, Las Vegas got out to a slow start against their opponent, and against a team as good as Los Angeles, they were unable to come back.
The Silver and Black will play host this Sunday to the Chicago Bears (2-2), which on paper would seem like a much less formidable opponent than the Bolts. Especially considering the Bears are going into this contest starting inconsistent rookie quarterback Justin Fields, who was given the starting nod this week for the rest of the season.
This is an important matchup considering the Bears are looking to get over the .500 hump and will arrive in Las Vegas with former Raiders star Khalil Mack. Mack was once considered untouchable by the organization, but he was traded away before the 2018 season and has not been the same player in the Windy City.
With that said, here are three Raiders to keep an eye on this week.
