Buffalo Bills at Oakland Raiders: Three Keys to the Game
By DJ Eberle
The Buffalo Bills’ Week 13 matchup against the Oakland Raiders kicks off on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. in Oakland
The next two weeks will most likely make or break the Buffalo Bills’ season, and it all starts Sunday out west against the Oakland Raiders.
Sitting at 6-5 and in ninth place in the AFC, the Bills are one game out of a wild card spot and need to make the most of every opportunity against the red-hot Raiders.
The Bills haven’t won in Oakland since 1966, and facing a first-place Oakland squad, Buffalo will sit as an underdog. But that doesn’t mean the Bills are up against an impenetrable wall.
While the Raiders’ offense is as good as it gets, Buffalo will have some opportunities against a less-than-stellar defense. The question remains, however, can Tyrod Taylor and Co. take advantage of some of Oakland’s weak spots?
The Bills will have their hands full defensively, facing MVP candidate Derek Carr and Co. After a pair of solid performances from the secondary, the Bills defensive backs will need to pack their momentum with them when they head out west.
Each week during the regular season, this column will provide the three ways the Bills can secure a victory. So, without further ado, here’s the Three Keys to the Game for the matchup against the Raiders, which kicks off Sunday at 4:05 p.m. at Oakland Alameda Coliseum on CBS.
