Las Vegas Raiders vs Kansas City Chiefs: 3 Raiders to watch in Week 10

Johnathan Abram, Safety

Every Raiders fan knows the struggles that Johnathan Abram faced last season, especially in the Week 11 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. In that game, Abram blew his coverage against Travis Kelce and cost the Raiders the game and a sweep of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Abram has really improved this season, playing closer to the line of scrimmage and alongside rookie Trevon Moehrig. However, last week was a little bit of a struggle, allowing a touchdown to Giants tight end Evan Engram, and missing a couple tackles, including a bad one against Daniel Jones.

The third-year safety needs to play well in this game, especially against Travis Kelce to help erase the mistake he made in last year’s game. The Raiders have more than enough talent to beat Kansas City on Sunday night, and Abram is going to be a big reason why they win if they do.
