Raiders Plan To Keep Patriots Guessing With This Key Matchup In Week 3

The top priority for the New England Patriots’ defense this Sunday will be limiting Darren Waller, the Las Vegas Raiders’ stud tight end.

Jon Gruden plans on making that as difficult as possible.

The Raiders head coach was asked Wednesday about New England potentially using top cornerback Stephon Gilmore to cover Waller, who ranks second among all NFL pass-catchers in both receptions and targets through two games.

“If they can find him,” Gruden replied during a conference call with New England reporters. “We’re going to move Waller around, too, so it’ll be fun to match up with him.
