Overview
- The Rams and Raiders meet Sunday with both teams looking to stop losing streaks and regain momentum in the midseason stretch.
- Los Angeles is short on key players with Davante Adams ruled out, Nate Landman out, Kobie Turner on injured reserve, and Trent McDuffie plus Puka Nacua listed as questionable; Las Vegas is comparatively healthier with Mike Washington Jr. listed as questionable.
- The Rams plan to compensate by generating disguised pressure and mixing up rushers to hurry quarterback Kirk Cousins and disrupt Las Vegas’ timing.
- The Raiders will hinge their attack on Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer in 12/13 personnel to exploit single‑coverage matchups and create space for quick passes and the run game.
- With receivers limited, the Rams will ask Kyren Williams and their tight ends to carry the offense, a shift that could worsen Los Angeles’ margin for error and influence both teams’ November playoff outlooks.
