The Las Vegas Raiders kick off a crucial three-game stretch in Week 9, as they head to Los Angeles to take on the 2-5 Chargers. Los Angeles was forced to turn to rookie quarterback Justi Herbert when Tyrod Taylor’s lung was punctured by a team doctor’s needle, and he has done a nice job ever since.
On Sunday, Las Vegas need to make sure they get pressure on the young signal-caller, who has shown a propensity to force mistakes. He has also shown that he can perform at a very high level, and that should scare a Raiders secondary that will once again be without Damon Arnette, and a defensive front that struggles to get after the quarterback.
