Back on the road, the Raiders will try to get back in the win column against the Colts

The Oakland Raiders head to the Midwest for the second consecutive week to face the AFC South's Indianapolis Colts in the midst of their 49-day stretch away from the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Dating back to 1991, each club has tallied a four-game winning streak in the series, with the two teams splitting the last two contests in Oakland. This marks the first time the Raiders have played in Indianapolis since 2013, with the Silver and Black owning a 4-2 record as the away team in the all-time series. With the Raiders leading the regular season series 8-7, the 16th matchup between the two organizations will commence at 10:00 a.m. PT this Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The Raiders lost to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3 by a score of 14-34. The team closed the gap to 14 with an opportunity to cut the lead to single digits going into the halftime break, but fell short in doing so and could not muster the comeback in the second half of play. Notable highlights in the contest included a breakout performance from TE Darren Waller, who once again led the team in receiving yards and receptions. Waller posted a career-high 13 catches for 134 yards on the day, tied for the second-most receptions in franchise history.

Both his receptions and receiving yards in Week 3 rank first among tight ends in a single game in 2019. Waller's 26 receptions this season rank second in the NFL and stand as the most receptions by a Raider through the first three weeks of a season in club history.

WR Tyrell Williams chipped in with a late fourth-quarter receiving TD from QB Derek Carr. Williams became the third player in franchise history to record a receiving score in each of the first three games of a season, joining Mervyn Fernandez (1989) and Art Powell (1963). Carr earned his 25th career game with a passer rating of at least 100, tying Daryle Lamonica for the second-most such games in franchise history.
