3 Things to Watch for as the Raiders Play the Patriots

The Las Vegas Raiders are less than 24 hours from kickoff against the New England Patriots in Allegiant Stadium.

There are three things to watch for this Sunday as the Silver and Black take on the Patriots on Sunday

Starting with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, if he finishes the game with a completion percentage of 65.0 or better, he will notch his 41st career game with a 65.0-plus completion percentage. He would pass Aaron Rodgers (40) and Russell Wilson (40) for the fourth most in NFL history among quarterbacks in their first 80 career games.

Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is another player to watch for against the Patriots. With two receptions against New England, Meyers would surpass Danny Amendola (261) for the fifth most receptions by an undrafted player in his first 65 career NFL games. With six receptions on Sunday, Meyers would also surpass Davone Bess (265) for the fourth most.

Lastly, Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby is a player to watch against the Patriots. If Crosby finishes the game with two tackles for losses, he would become one of only seven players in the NFL since 1999 to reach 75 tackles for losses in 72 games or fewer. So far this season, Crosby has a total of eight tackles for losses, and 75 tackles for losses would also be the most by a Raiders defensive player in 72 games. Crosby would also be one of only nine players to reach 75 tackles for losses in his first five seasons. If Crosby also gets eight tackles on Sunday against the Patriots, he would surpass his previous record of 35 tackles in a season and would have the most tackles by a defensive lineman through six games in Raiders history.

Be on the lookout for these three Raiders as they are all on record-breaking watch this Sunday against the Patriots.

The Silver and Black will stay home at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to play the New England Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 15, at 4:05 p.m. EDT/1:05 p.m. PDT.
