Great Pass Rusher
Maxx Crosby is the leader of the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense and will certainly make his presence known on Sunday. Given the Cleveland Browns’ offensive line struggles this season, Crosby will have a big opportunity to disrupt the passing game. Any mistakes made by the Browns’ offensive line will open the door for Crosby to make an impact, even if the rest of the pass rush is limited for Vegas
.Improving Run Defense
Crosby isn’t just strong as a pass rusher. He also contributes to
the Raiders’ improving run defense, which is currently 11th in the league, just below the Browns, in rushing yards allowed per game. Cleveland may not be able to rely heavily on Quinshon Judkins, and the run game should the Las Vegas defense perform well against a struggling Browns’ offense.
Tight End Talent
Although inconsistent this season, Brock Bowers has still been one of the main focal points of the Raiders’ offense. Bowers led his team last week with seven receptions for 72 yards and will be looking to build on that performance. With his size and athleticism, he presents a unique challenge to opposing defenses and could cause some trouble for a very talented Cleveland defense.
