This week in Raiders talk

The shows spent the week building up the Raiders' matchup with the Rams, with Brock Bowers emerging as the main storyline. The talk centers on whether Las Vegas can take advantage of Los Angeles' injury problems, particularly losing Davante Adams, while the defense under Rob Leonard has shown real identity with elite pressure rates. Kirk Cousins running the offense at home gives the Raiders a legitimate shot despite the Rams coming in favored.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

11 clips · 78 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer, Kirk Cousins, Trent McDuffie, Davante Adams, Kobie Turner, Myles Garrett, Puka Nacua.
