Raiders vs. Colts: What to watch for in Week 8

Two teams with a combined 10 losses already will face off at the Coliseum sans infield dirt Sunday, and maybe they surprise us with some decent football.

The Raiders (1-5) are playing for pride at this point, while the Colts (2-5) still have a shot in a jumbled AFC South.

Ahead of 1:05 p.m. PST kickoff, let’s have a look at five things to watch for in the game.

Martin is no Beast Mode, but the Raiders seem more than confident he can sufficiently fill Lynch’s spot in the Raiders’ backfield after Lynch hit injured reserve with a groin injury.
