What to watch for

Not many things went right for the Raiders in their 41-14 defeat to Kansas City. With two straight losses, the Silver and Black know they need to bounce back after not playing well in any of the three phases of the game last Sunday night. After red zone struggles against the Giants and third down struggles against the Chiefs, Interim Head Coach Rich Bisaccia noted that the team may be pushing to do too much on offense, and will need to "learn from the losses" to get back in rhythm.

"We talked about playing free, knowing what to do and then doing what you know. I felt like we really prepared well," he said. "I thought we believed in what we were doing, in the game plan, and I just felt like they were trying to press a little bit and maybe missed some assignments that way. Put themselves in maybe some poor body positions to try to do too much."

The Bengals also lost two straight before their bye week this past weekend. In recent years, Cincinnati has struggled after their bye, as they have gone 0-5 in their games after byes since 2016, but with a 5-4 record and QB Joe Burrow at the helm, things look different this season. Though he has thrown a league-high 11 interceptions, Burrow is seventh in passing yards (2,497) and his connection with rookie Ja'Marr Chase is undeniable. Chase has recorded 835 receiving yards with seven touchdowns through nine games and is making noise as an Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate. The Raiders defense, which has struggled with the run, will also have to account for running back Joe Mixon, who has totaled 636 yards on the ground and seven touchdowns of his own.
