MINI BEASTS
The Raiders will be without running back Marshawn Lynch. He’s serving a one-game suspension for running off the sideline during a scuffle and shoving an official. That leaves Oakland relying on two smaller backs: Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington. Though the Raiders might miss Lynch’s powerful “Beast Mode” runs, Richard and Washington are bigger threats in the passing game. “We’ll be able to spread out the defense, and defenses won’t know what’s coming,” Richard said.
