The previous game's statistics reveal areas where the Raiders can improve and leverage. Despite suffering six sacks and three interceptions, they managed a completion percentage of approximately 59 percent with two passing touchdowns. Their rushing game was less dominant but still managed an average of nearly five yards per carry.


Defensively, while they didn't record any sacks or interceptions against the Chargers, they forced four three-and-outs and one fumble which they recovered. This resilience will be crucial in containing the Cardinals' offense.


Special teams also showed promise; field goal kicking was perfect with two made out of two attempts including one from beyond 50 yards. However, penalties were minimal with only three costing them eleven yards in total – discipline that will need to continue into their next game.


The upcoming contest at Allegiant Stadium is set against a backdrop where every play counts and every yard is fought for fiercely. The Raiders have shown that even under pressure they can put points on the board through air attacks and maintain defensive solidity by forcing turnovers.


Fans should expect an intense battle as both teams vie for victory in front of a roaring Las Vegas crowd. With each team bringing its own strengths and weaknesses to the field, it's sure to be a spectacle filled with strategic plays and athletic prowess.
