Raiders: Keys to victory against the WFT in Week 13
This game will be a street fight, and that is precisely what WFT HC Ron Rivera and DC Jack Del Rio want
The Washington Football Team may not possess a myriad of talent, and their 5-6 record may seem underwhelming – but make no mistake. You will be hard-pressed to find a more hard-nosed football team in the NFL.
With that being said, defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio has been on the record for questioning Derek Carr’s toughness.
Derek Carr was asked about cold weather games because Jack Del Rio mentioned Carr doesn't play well in cold: "Jack was with there with me a couple of those times. I used to think this was a team game. Yes. It's all my fault and I take full responsibility." #Raiders

Don’t think that Raiders’ quarterback Derek Carr has forgotten about his former head coach and vice-versa. The two know each other very well and expect Del Rio to pull out all the stops against his former signal-caller.
This may entail some extracurricular activities between the Las Vegas offense and the Washington defense. With how NFL refereeing is these days, the Silver and Black cannot entertain these mind games that more than likely will result in another flag-fest.
As long as the Raiders focus on their play, they should be able to avoid the mind games that Ron Rivera and company may concoct.
