Week 11 of the NFL season closes with what is shaping up as an offensive shootout in Vegas as the Raiders (2-7) host the Dallas Cowboys (3-5-1). Each side is enduring a disappointing season and would like to begin a late season push with a win in Sin City.
The Cowboys are coming off their bye week. It will be their first game since the death of defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland. How they respond emotionally is certainly a major storyline. For their part, the Raiders have lost three straight including a 10-7 loss to Denver last week.
At the trade deadline, Dallas added linebacker Logan Wilson and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to bolster a defense that ranks near the bottom of the NFL in both scoring and total defense. Forced to score just to try and keep up with their all-too-generous defense, the offense has responded, averaging close to 29 points per game. As their record indicates, however, Dak Prescott and said offense have not been able to keep pace often enough.
The Raiders have simply been bad. The offense as a whole has been ineffective led by Geno Smith. The veteran signal caller has been average on his good days. The bright spots are few but include rookie running back Ashton Jeanty (six touchdowns in his last six games) and tight end Brock Bowers (averaging a little over five receptions per game). Defensively, Las Vegas is better than Dallas, but that is hardly a compliment. Partuclarly troubling is their inability to stop the run of late, giving up 387 rushing yards over their last three games.
It should all add up to offense and points for each team. Lets dive deeper into the numbers and see where we end up ahead of Monday Night Football.
