Key Players
Minshew's football IQ and ability to protect the ball give Las Vegas a functional offensive floor. He's at his best when the Raiders can establish the run.
The reigning standard-bearer at the position. Mahomes' combination of arm talent, mobility, and football IQ makes him nearly impossible to game-plan against consistently. Look for him to exploit single coverage and generate explosive plays in the second half.
Adams' route running precision is elite. His ability to create separation against any coverage makes him the Raiders' most reliable offensive weapon.
Kelce remains the most reliable tight end in football in critical moments. His route running in the middle of the field and red-zone presence gives Mahomes a safety valve that defenses cannot fully eliminate.
