The Las Vegas Raiders have their rematch against AFC West division rival Denver Broncos in Week 1. The first matchup was a 10-7 slog won by Denver. The Raiders defense was excellent in that game, but the offense couldn't take advantage to execute the upset.
Could Patrick Graham's defense enjoy a repeat performance this weekend? We've identified three potential X-factors for the Raiders on defense in Week 14.
Charles Snowden was impactful throughout the Week 10 matchup. The former Virginia standout totaled six tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, and two quarterback hits. Snowden impressed versus a stout Broncos offensive line, and he'll try to do it again on Sunday.
Raiders cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly arguably played his best game of the campaign against the Broncos. He intercepted Bo Nix twice as the Raiders pass defense held the sophomore quarterback to 150 yards and two turnovers. Blu Kelly hopes to have Nix's number.
Safety Jeremy Chinn registered a team-high nine tackles during the primetime matchup with the Broncos. Head coach Sean Payton likes to run his offense around the line of scrimmage. That means defensive weapons like Chinn need to play an aggressive downhill brand of football.
