5 Raiders to pay closest attention to vs. Bills

The Las Vegas Raiders enter their third straight game against an elite opponent this week, hosting the Buffalo Bills after a mixed start to the season. Following three wins over winless or struggling teams (the Dolphins, Chargers, and Saints), the Raiders have now lost back-to-back games to the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots.

Their upcoming matchup with the Bills is critical, as they follow it with a game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Raiders’ offensive firepower, combined with the Bills’ defensive vulnerabilities, makes this a must-win contest for Buffalo to maintain their 5-1 record heading into their bye week.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins will face a Bills defense that must disrupt his accuracy by applying relentless pass-rush pressure, particularly early in the game. Meanwhile, wide receiver Tre Tucker poses a significant threat due to his speed and the Bills’ league-worst pass defense, which ranks 31st in yards allowed.

Tucker’s ability to exploit mismatches—especially when lined up in the slot—could prove decisive if the Raiders’ passing attack gains traction.
