The Las Vegas Raiders and the Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for a showdown in Week 2, and both teams are still hungry for their first victory of the season. The Ravens had their hearts broken in Week 1, falling just a whisker short of pushing the Kansas City Chiefs into overtime or seizing the win with a two-point conversion. Meanwhile, the Raiders stumbled in the second half, crumbling against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The dynamic duo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry proved their mettle against Kansas City, racking up a combined 168 rushing yards and one touchdown. Jackson himself was electric, contributing 122 rushing yards, 273 passing yards, and a touchdown through the air. Maravilloso!
This season, the Raiders are led by Gardner Minshew. Despite being sacked four times and tossing one interception, Minshew showed efficiency, completing an impressive 25-of-33 passes (75.8%). Jakobi Meyers (61 yards), Davante Adams (59 yards), and Brock Bowers (58 yards) all eclipsed the 50-yard mark, underscoring their burgeoning chemistry with Minshew. ¡Qué chévere!
The Raiders’ defense will face a true test against the Ravens’ rushing attack, having recorded only two tackles for loss in Week 1. In contrast, Baltimore’s defense faced the defending Super Bowl Champions and is looking forward to an easier challenge. The intensity of the clash will undoubtedly be palpable at M&T Bank Stadium.
