The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season, and here are some keys to victory for them in this one.

The Arizona Cardinals are coming off a blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, a game in which they were exposed on both offense and defense. The Las Vegas Raiders could be in very good shape this weekend, as they will have plenty of ways to neutralize the Cardinals’ offense while attacking the vulnerabilities on defense.

The Raiders have a great opportunity to bounce back in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, as the Cardinals couldn’t stop anything the Chiefs were doing in their 44-21 loss. Kansas City was in control all day with little, to no resistance from the Cardinals defense.

Travis Kelce brought in eight receptions for 121 yards and one touchdown, so the Raiders should attack the Cardinals with Darren Waller, a much more athletic tight end that Cardinals’inue to put the Cardinals in a matchup dilemma.

The Cardinals defense gave up 488 yards while only putting up 282 yards mostly coming from garbage time. The college offense that Kingsbury brings to the Cardinals is struggling in terms of weapons right now, especially with DeAndre Hopkins out for the next few weeks.

With That being said here are 3 keys to victory against the Cardinals in Week 2.
