In this story:

There are three things to watch as the Las Vegas Raiders go head-to-head against the Indianapolis Colts today at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

It starts with Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams. With 28 yards against the Colts, Adams would notch his fifth season with 1,000-plus receiving yards, which would be his fourth consecutive season with more than 1,000, tied for the second-longest active streak in the NFL. 

Adams would be one of four players in the NFL to record 1,000-plus receiving yards in the last four seasons. He has 20 catches for 273 yards and has scored three touchdowns in three games against the Colts in his career.

Raiders' defensive end Malcom Koonce also is player to watch  against the Colts. With two sacks, Koonce would become the third player in Raiders history since 1982 to record two-plus sacks in three straight games. This would be the first time since Khalil Mack had two-plus sacks in three consecutive games in 2015. 

With two sacks, Koonce would be only the fifth player in Raiders history to record seven-plus sacks in a three-game span.

Lastly, defensive end Maxx Crosby is a player to watch against the Colts. With three tackles, Crosby will notch his second consecutive season with 85-plus tackles and become one of only two defensive linemen since 2000 to record two seasons of 85-plus tackles. 

With seven tackles, Crosby would reach 89 tackles in 2023, notching a single-season career high. His 89 tackles would also be the most in a single season by a defensive lineman in Raiders history. Crosby has 10 solo tackles, eight assists and one sack in four games against the Colts.

Be on the watch for these three Raiders who are on record-breaking watch against the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.

With a victory over the Colts, the Raiders would improve their record to 18-25 against the AFC South.

The Silver and Black continue the season on New Year's Eve versus the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Don't miss it on Sunday, December 31, at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST.
