Las Vegas safety Johnathan Abram has allowed a perfect opposing QB completion rate when he has been targeted in coverage the past two weeks. Abram is lost in terms of pass coverage, whether it’s running backs, tight ends, or wide receivers. On Thursday, his dry spell must end if the Silver and Black’s defense, who has overall been performing well as of late, wants to keep the Dak Prescott-led aerial attack from ultimately going off.
