In this story:

DETROIT, Mich.--The Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) are headed to the Motor City on Monday Night to take on the Detroit Lions (5-2) in desperate need of seeing their $102-million offense emerge.

The frustration with this team is that they are talented, and they do have the ability to perform at a higher level.  The time has come for them to do that.

In this episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast, we are joined by John Maakaron, my colleague from Sports Illustrated's Fan Nation All Lions site.  

This Detroit Lions beat writer and I will look ahead to tonight's Monday Night Football game and give you our analysis.

On Saturday, Coach McDaniels said of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who is returning from injury: "Yeah, I think he's got a little pep in his step. Again, he's much the same as everybody else is. He didn't play last week, but I think he wants to get us headed in the right direction and start doing some things that we haven't been doing as well better. But he brings good leadership, good energy at practice, good execution. He's working with everybody across the board, and just really trying to put our focus where it needs to be and have good days and stack them this week. and hopefully finish with a good one today in the red zone, some of our work down there and in the scoring area."

The Silver and Black will stay on the road to take on the Detroit Lions on Monday night, Oct. 30, at 8:15 p.m. EDT/5:15 p.m. PDT.
