ALAMEDA – Houston Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler doesn’t have fond memories of time spent with Khalil Mack. He faced the Raiders edge rusher once last year while playing for Denver, and it’s safe to say he didn’t have a great experience.
Mack sacked Osweiler five times in the second half, single-handedly destroying a game the then-upstart Raiders won 15-12. Outsiders considered that a breakout game, though Mack had already earned league-wide respect during a season-plus of disruption after being selected No. 5 overall in the 2014 NFL draft.
Osweiler will meet Mack again on Monday night at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca and hopes this game doesn’t end like that one did.
