In Week 7's edition of Across the Bow, we speak to Ramblin' Fan's John Sbisa to cover the Las Vegas Raiders' upcoming game vs. the Los Angeles Rams.
The latest Las Vegas Raiders news roundup includes the final injury report for them and the Los Angeles Rams, the team's WR conundrum, and the Week 7 captains.
Inside linebacker Nate Landman (concussion) is ruled out for Week 7, leaving the Los Angeles Rams shorthanded ahead of their Sunday matchup at the Las Vegas Raiders. Wide receiver Puka Nacua and cornerback Trent McDuffie are listed as questionable after Nacua left practice with a minor calf strain and McDuffie missed the week with a groin issue. Coach Sean McVay elevates veteran Eric Kendricks from the practice squad to fill Landman's spot. The Rams, now 2‑5, also lack Davante Adams (6‑10 weeks) and Terrence Ferguson (IR), while the Raiders sit at 2‑4 and are favored by bettors. The injury toll raises doubts about the Rams snapping a two‑game losing streak.
Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly Stafford, almost missed her chance to cheer on the Los Angeles Rams quarterback in the Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Well, she put the blame on her missed flight to Las Vegas. With no other option after missing the flight, Kelly decided to take her four daughters on […]

Buffalo Bills safety and special teams captain Sam Franklin Jr. has successfully appealed his one-game suspension for allegedly spitting at an opponent during the team’s Week 6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The NFL reduced his punishment to a $14,926 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct, meaning he’s eligible to play when Buffalo returns from its […]

The Rams enter Week 7 against the Raiders with top‑three offense and defense rankings but sit 2‑4, largely due to a league‑worst special‑teams EPA (-21.35). Kicker turnover has been chaotic: Harrison Mevis was released after a 55.6% field‑goal rate, Blake Grupe injured his ACL, and veteran Brandon McManus is now the third kicker in seven games. Their punt coverage also lags, earning a 66.5 PFF grade (seventh‑worst). The Raiders fare slightly better, ranking ninth in EPA thanks to Matt Gay’s 93.3% field‑goal success, though their punt return unit is 26th. The upcoming matchup could hinge on which team wins the special‑teams battle.
The Raiders (3‑3) host the Rams (2‑4) in Week 7, and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak must lean on a surprisingly effective ground game to counter Los Angeles’ stingy defense. While Las Vegas boasts the league’s sixth‑most points (162) and a top‑10 passing attack—quarterback Kirk Cousins leads with 14 TDs—their rushing ranks near the bottom (30th). The Rams, however, have surrendered the seventh‑most rushing yards (762) and struggle with interior linemen after injuries to Poona Ford and Kobie Turner. Kubiak is advised to mix power runs with Jeanty and rookie Mike Washington Jr., while still exploiting his elite pass‑catchers Brock Bowers, Tre Tucker, and Michael Mayer. Success hinges on balancing air and ground to outmaneuver defensive coordinator Chris Schula’s scheme.
The Las Vegas Raiders (3‑3) and Los Angeles Rams (2‑4) clash in Week 7, each fighting to stay in the playoff hunt. After a 3‑0 start, the Raiders have dropped three straight, while the Rams, once Super Bowl favorites, grapple with injuries to their defensive line, cornerback Trent McDuffie, and wideout Davante Adams. The author favors the Raiders +4.5, an under 48.5 total, and the LV moneyline. The post also previews the Silver & Black Pride Pick’em competition, highlighting recent writer records and community leaderboards, with Mooniac now atop the standings.

Puka Nacua left the Los Angeles Rams‘ practice early on Thursday with a calf injury, a fresh scare for a 2-4 team that learned on Monday it will be without Davante Adams for six to 10 weeks. The Rams visit the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium. Thursday is […]

The Las Vegas Raiders can still be buyers before the trade deadline. A couple of dissatisfied players can help give the Silver and Black a midseason push.
The Raiders enter Sunday’s bout with the Rams holding a clear injury edge, with only rookie RB Mike Washington listed as questionable after foot/back issues that limited his practice week. Coach Klint Kubiak expects Washington to suit up, but if he’s sidelined, Dylan Laube backs up starter Ashton Jeanty. Defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway returns from a concussion, while WR Dont’e Thornton remains on IR, risking a season‑ending loss if not activated by Wednesday. The Rams, meanwhile, scramble with several key players—WR Puka Nacua, CB Trent McDuffie, LB Nate Landman, plus multiple linemen and WR Davante Adams—questionable or out.
With the Raiders facing the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, a potential loss could finally push rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza into the starting role. Despite a three‑game skid, Kirk Cousins leads the NFL with 14 TD passes and has kept the offense competitive, ranking sixth in points (27.0) and seventh in passing yards (263.5) per game. However, owner and fans are uneasy as the team hasn’t beaten a quality opponent, and a fourth straight loss would drop the Raiders below .500. Coach Klint Kubiak may prioritize giving Mendoza experience and planning for 2027, while standout receiver Tre Tucker continues his breakout season with 371 yards through six weeks.
Coach Sean McVay’s Los Angeles Rams are heading into Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders with a 2-4 record and a host of questions amid a Puka Nacua injury scare. Fellow star Davante Adams is waiting on hamstring surgery, while star pass rusher Myles Garrett is battling back from left knee issue that required […]

Ahead of the Week 7 showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders, the Los Angeles Rams sit 2‑4 and look far from the offseason “Super Team” hype. Analyst Kenny Arthur blames the Rams’ collapse on misguided roster moves—overpaying for corners, trading for Hall‑Famer Myles Garrett instead of shoring up linebackers or receivers, and drafting rookie QB Ty Simpson—while neglecting the league’s worst special‑teams unit, which saw key players like kicker Harrison Mevis and returner Xavier Smith cut or retained. Injuries to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams further expose depth issues. Meanwhile, veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford’s production has slipped from a 2023 MVP‑level spike, highlighting the team’s broader struggle to translate big‑name signings into wins.
The stars may be aligning to make Kirk Cousins into a big-time trade asset for the Las Vegas Raiders.

The NFL overturns Bills safety Sam Franklin Jr.'s one‑game suspension, converting it to a $14,926 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct after a hearing by officer James Thrash. The decision follows a similar appeal that upheld C.J. Gardner‑Johnson's suspension for a spitting incident. Franklin’s agents emphasized there was no evidence he spat, and the player will be cleared to play in Buffalo’s Week 8 matchup against the Ravens on Nov. 1. The Bills now sit at 1‑2 on suspension appeals this season.
The Raiders fell 33-30 to the Bills in Week 6, prompting a deep dive into their receiving corps. Tre Tucker led the team with 46 snaps, hauling in five catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns – his best effort yet. Jalen Nailor, back from a concussion, managed just one catch for nine yards on four targets after a $35 million contract. Cody White saw limited action (14 snaps) with no receptions, while rookie Malik Benson and Dareke Young were largely unused. Overall, Las Vegas favored tight ends and backs, delivering 82 targets versus only 41 to its wide receivers in the past three games.
The Las Vegas Raiders struggled to get Brock Bowers involved consistently in Week 6 because of the Buffalo Bills' game plan. But he still produced in a big way.
