The Las Vegas Raiders and the Baltimore Ravens meet in Week 2 with each still in search of their 1st win of the season.
Baltimore was a toe short of going into OT or having a chance of winning on a two-point conversion versus Kansas City on Thursday Night to open the season, while Las Vegas had a second-half meltdown in its loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The tandem of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry looked every bit as advertised with 168 rushing yards and one touchdown against Kansas City. Jackson had 122 of those yards, in addition to 273 passing yards and one touchdown through the air.
Las Vegas is led by Gardner Minshew this season and despite being sacked four times and throwing one interception and one touchdown, he was efficient (25-of-33 passing, 75.8%). Jakobi Meyers (61) Davante Adams (59) and Brock Bowers (58) all totaled 50-plus yards in Week 1 with Minshew, so there was obvious chemistry.
The Raiders only had two tackles for loss in Week 1, so facing the Ravens’ rushing offense will be a struggle. Baltimore’s defense faced the two-time Super Bowl Champions in Week 1, so the Ravens’ defense will likely have an easier go-around in Week 2.
