The Las Vegas Raiders are in must-win mode against the Houston Texans and will need to win a few key matchups to get it done.

After a week to regroup, the Raiders are back on the field this Sunday as they look to win at home against the Houston Texans.

Both teams enter the game with only one win so expect both to play with a sense of desperation, as the season could slip away with a loss this weekend.

The Raiders need to come out focused and put together a full sixty-minute performance, which they have not done consistently this season.

Because despite being less talented than most teams they play, Houston has been competitive in every game this season. And with the Raiders’ propensity to snag defeat out of the jaws of victory, no win is guaranteed.

So how do the Raiders give themselves the best chance at victory?

Here are three matchups that will play a vital role in who wins this game.
