The Las Vegas Raiders are traveling east this week to face off against one of the top defenses in the NFL in the Cleveland Browns in a Week 15 battle.
This game slated for Saturday will be a dire one for the Las Vegas Raiders as they have crumbled in the second of the season so far, and the once-promising season has taken on new heights in the continuous disappointing story of this franchise. It has been a roller coaster of a season both on and off the field, and with four games left, it remains to be seen if the collapse will be finalized for a third straight season.
The Browns at 7-6 have a bit of a deceiving record, by some accounts with so much talent on this roster, one could even say this team is underachieving. There is a slew of talented players on this Cleveland roster, and this is even the case as the team has placed eight players this week on the COVID-19 reserve list.
Overall, while the Raiders have struggled mightily since the bye week, they are still technically in the playoff race in the AFC and can make a real statement on Saturday. Las Vegas was putrid against Kansas City last week, but they did beat the Dallas Cowboys the week before, as they continue to be a real mystery from week to week.
The Raiders must be wary of this talent come Saturday, and I will now explain which three will be the most vital in this contest.
