3. Slow Down The Colts Rushing Attack
Colts running back Marlon Mack is third in the NFL in rushing with 299 rushing yards, he also averages 4.9 yards per rush. The Colts have one the best offensive line in the NFL. The Raiders run defense will have its work cut out for them.
Oakland must get solid play from their defensive tackles, Johnathon Hankins and Maurice Hurst. They will need to get penetration so the linebackers can make plays. Look for the Raiders to put eight-man in the box to attempt to slow down the Colts rushing attack. The Raiders must slow down the Colts ground game and make them try to beat them on the outside.
