The Las Vegas Raiders host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. PT.
Here are five keys to victory for the Raiders:
Fast start:
Yes, the Raiders have been a mess. They are 2-11, have lost nine straight games and have lost four of their past five games by double digits. But the truth is, the Raiders haven’t been good, either. They have lost four straight games and are 6-7. If the Raiders can have a good first quarter, doubt could creep in the Falcons’ minds and the Raiders can steal this game.
