Raiders: Keys to victory against the WFT in Week 13

The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Washington Football Team in Week 13, and here are the keys to victory for the Silver and Black.

This Sunday, the Las Vegas Raiders will have their hands full versus the Washington Football Team, but victory will be obtainable as long as they commit to attacking the WFT downfield. As was evidenced last week versus the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, good things come to those who consistently push the ball past the sticks.

While Dallas cornerback Anthony Brown was essentially in a Las Vegas uniform with how much he inadvertently helped the team, he would never have been in those positions should the offense of elected to throw short and underneath routes.

More specifically, the team possesses a wide receiver who can still damage a former out-of-conference rival in Washinton, D.C.

Raiders have a wide receiver who knows how to dominate against the WFT

While Las Vegas and Washington may be unfamiliar opponents, Raiders’ wide receiver DeSean Jackson knows a thing or two about this week’s opponent. In fact, many of the best games of his career came against them as a former Philadelphia Eagles wideout.

He and the Silver and Black offense possess a golden opportunity to take advantage of a Washington Football Team secondary tied for the NFL lead in the most passing touchdowns allowed in 2021. Moreover, they are also allowing a fifth-worst 7.5 yards net yards per pass attempt.

However, while their secondary may seem underwhelming, the same cannot be said about the team’s defensive front.
