The Las Vegas Raiders, who need to defeat the Indianapolis Colts in order to have any chance of making the playoffs, will travel once more after perhaps their biggest road win in the previous two seasons.

The Raiders are getting ready for another intense game under interim coach Antonio Pierce. When the Colts traveled to Las Vegas last year, Pierce hopes to avoid a repeat of that outcome.

Jonathan Taylor, the Colts’ running back, must first be slowed down. Against the Raiders the previous season, Taylor ran for almost 150 yards.

Pierce remarked, “They are a physical football team.” “They came in here last year and did a pretty good job of pursuing us. Naturally, we’ll be anticipating their best football. Both sides have good upfront performance. O-line, D-line, that’s something we have to handle. We saw that big running back last year. For us, it wasn’t attractive.

We also need to exercise caution when it comes to Gardner Minshew, the quarterback. He is cunning, and cunningly good. And he’s performed admirably for them since joining, to the point where you can’t even tell if he’s a backup. You are not aware of it. Given his play and the way the team is playing around him, I would assume he has been the starter from the beginning.”

For a brief period, Las Vegas will rejoice over their heartfelt triumph over the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders have twenty-four hours to forget about the previous game and concentrate on the fierce Colts squad, according to Pierce, just like after a loss.

Pierce stated, “It’s a well-coached team.” “They obviously run a very good scheme, and their defensive staff is very familiar with our players. The game will take place in real life. The rule is 24 hours. On Christmas Day, the plane ride home was absolutely fantastic; however, it is now December 26. It will be exciting to play these boys on New Year’s Eve, which we are getting ready for.

To punch their ticket into the playoffs, the Raiders will need to win their final two games and hope for different outcomes around the National Football League.

Playoffs or no playoffs, though, Las Vegas needs to be ready to bounce back from their significant win over the Chiefs with another significant road victory prior to their home regular season finale.
