THE OPPONENT

The Oakland Raiders entered the 2017 regular season following a 12-4 campaign in 2016 in which they finished second in the AFC West. This season is the team's third season under the purview of Head Coach Jack Del Rio.

The Raiders have won both of their regular season games this season, including a 45-20 home win against the New York Jets last week.

Derek Carr is the Raiders' starting quarterback in his fourth NFL season. Last season, he completed 357-of-560 passes (63.8 percent) for 3,937 yards with 28 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was voted to his second straight Pro Bowl last year. Carr has started 48 of 49 regular season games in his first four years for the Raiders.

Running back Latavius Murray, now with the Minnesota Vikings, led the Raiders in rushing a year ago, posting 778 rushing yards on 195 carries including 12 touchdowns. Running back Marshawn Lynch sits atop the depth chart after being acquired this past offseason.

Wide receiver Michael Crabtree posted team highs in receptions (89) and touchdown receptions (eight) in 2016. Amari Cooper led the team in receiving yards (1,153) and added 83 receptions with five touchdowns.

Linebacker Malcolm Smith paced the Raiders with a team-high 103 tackles (86 solo) in 2016. Defensive end Khalil Mack recorded a team-high 11.0 sacks, while safety Reggie Nelson led the Raiders with five interceptions.

Kicker Giorgio Tavecchio has assumed kicking duties and is a perfect 5-of-5 this year on field goals. Punter Marquette King was voted to a Pro Bowl last season after averaging 48.6 yards on 81 punts.

Jalen Richard served as both the team's primary punt and kick returner in 2016. He averaged 9.0 yards per return on 34 punt returns and 23.6 yards per return on 17 kick returns last season.
