The Browns and Raiders have met each other just 25 times in the past. Las Vegas currently has a lead in the series with a 15-10 record.
The teams last faced each other in 2018, when the Raiders won in overtime, 45-42.
With the horrible news coming in after Sunday’s game that Cleveland wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will be out for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL he suffered against the Bengals, Rashard Higgins has to step up.
That being said, the Browns have several starters questionable for Sunday, including RB Kareem Hunt, WR Jarvis Landry, and three of their five starting offensive linemen. Hopefully it is nothing serious, but fans should keep an eye on future injury reports coming this week.
In terms of the Raiders, they do not have any significant injuries reported as of Wednesday. The only player to watch this coming week is star running back Josh Jacobs, who was limited in practice on Wednesday with a knee injury.
The Raiders will certainly be looking for some revenge after their loss to the Buccaneers. What better way to do that than win against a vulnerable 5-2 Browns team that hasn’t been consistent lately?
Carr should be able to light the secondary on fire, as the Browns’ secondary allowed Bengals rookie QB Joe Burrow to throw for 406 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Assuming the Browns are completely healthy on Sunday, Baker will have his supporting cast (minus Beckham) offensively. It should certainly be a true test for the Browns, a team that almost scored 50 points against the Dallas Cowboys, but was unable to score more than one touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
