Las Vegas Raiders vs. Baltimore Ravens NFL Week 2 Preview
By Matt Trebby
The Raiders enter Week 2 ranked 26th in Offensive DVOA after an underwhelming start to the season against the Chargers. Gardner Minshew averaged a respectable 7.8 yards per attempt on 33 passes, but that only translated to 10 points.
A bigger issue for the Raiders will be a run game that averaged just 3.2 yards per carry on 22 attempts. Antonio Pierce wants that to be his team’s offensive identity, but the ground game needs to be more efficient for that to be the case.
This isn’t exactly a get-right spot for the Raiders either against an experienced Ravens defense.
Offensively, Lamar Jackson played like the reigning MVP in the NFL season opener against the Chiefs. He had 273 passing yards on 6.7 yards per attempt and also ran for 122 yards.
Getting Derrick Henry going will likely be more of a priority this week for Baltimore. The Ravens’ new running back ran for just 46 yards on 13 carries against the Chiefs.
