Offensive Issues
The Raiders have issues with their offense, as they have not scored more than 18 points in any game this season and only rank 25th in the league in scoring (15.5 ppg).
Off-season addition Jimmy Garoppolo, who only ranks 20th in QBR and has more picks (6) than TD (5) missed the last game with concussion issues and is listed as questionable for this game. Josh Jacobs led the league in rushing yards last season and after coming to camp late this season only has 166 rushing yards averaging 2.7 yards per carry this season.
Star WR Davante Adams (397 yards 3 TD) has voiced his frustration with the offense and the losses and is also listed as questionable for the Green Bay game with a shoulder injury.
If Jimmy G cannot go rookie Aidan O’Connell will get the start and in his first in the loss to the Chargers last week, he had the chance to force OT or the win late in the game but failed to get Las Vegas in the end zone. For the game he was 24/39 for 238 yards with a pick and no TD and was sacked seven times.
On the season the Packers’ defense ranks 11th against the pass and third to last in the league against the run.
