Las Vegas force mistakes. Six fumbles and three interceptions in two games, plus eight sacks, against an offense that has already given the ball away three times in a game this season.
New Orleans cannot run it. Three yards a carry across two games means the passing volume is not a choice, and Las Vegas are holding quarterbacks to a 63.2 rating.
Nevertheless the Raiders cannot run either, at 2.8 a carry with no rushing touchdowns. Ashton Jeanty managed 48 yards from 21 attempts at the Chargers.

- Kirk Cousins (LV, QB): Three touchdown passes at the Chargers, six across the season.
- Tre Tucker (LV, WR): Five catches for 119 yards and a score in Week 2.
- Chris Olave (NO, WR): New Orleans’ primary target in a 90-attempt passing game.
- Tyler Shough (NO, QB): 611 passing yards across two games, with two interceptions.
