On the fifth leg of the Raiders road trip away from Oakland, Jon Gruden’s squad is set to face off against the Houston Texans. The Texans are looking to redeem themselves coming off of a disappointing loss to division rival Indianapolis Colts. Deshaun Watson and the Houston offense has been dangerous and capable of keeping their team in every game.
The Raiders defense is coming off a drubbing at the hands of another talented quarterback, and they will have their hands full corralling Watson. The Raiders offense, however, should be able to move the ball against a Texans defense that has been average in most areas at the end of 7 weeks of football.
