The Las Vegas Raiders are almost entering a must-win game scenario, and it's only Week 4. After losses to the Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers, two very winnable games, they are now 1-2 on the year, and 1-3 could make it very hard to get back into the race. Not impossible, but very hard.
And, we know they can do it because we saw a good quarter of football on both sides of the ball against the Baltimore Ravens. So, they are capable of doing it, it's just about actually doing it. A game against a very beaten-up Cleveland Browns team is a great way to get the team back on track, evening the record out at 4-4.
This one should be good, but the ultimate question remains: Will you be able to watch on TV?
Raiders vs. Browns Broadcast Map
The Raiders will be playing on CBS with Beth Mowins, Ross Tucker, and Jay Feely doing the broadcast. On this broadcast map, it's pretty obvious that the blue area is for the Raiders and Browns game as if the Nevada and Ohio states aren't the clear giveaway. This game is coming later in the day where only two CBS games are on. So, you will either get this game or the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers game.
Things to watch vs. Browns
Raiders D Line: The Browns have one of the more injured offensive lines in the league. this is the perfect week for them to get back on track after a bad week.
Raiders O Line: The Browns could be without Myles Garrett, as he's currently dealing with several injuries, and did not practice on Wednesday.
Gardner Minshew: He didn't play terribly last week, the offense was just really bad. This week would be perfect for one of those Minshew Mania games.
