Noteworthy: Three Things to Look Out For When the Raiders Play the Colts

There are three things to watch as the Las Vegas Raiders go head-to-head against the Indianapolis Colts today in Lucas Oil Stadium.

It starts with Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams. With 28 yards against the Colts, Adams would notch his fifth season with 1,000+ receiving yards. With 28 receiving yards, he would notch his fourth consecutive season with 1000+ receiving yards, tied for the second-longest active streak in the NFL. Adams would be one of four players in the NFL to record 1,000+ receiving yards in the last four seasons. He has 20 catches for 273 yards and has scored three touchdowns in three games against the Colts in his career.

Raiders’ defensive end, Malcom Koonce, is also a player to watch out for against the Colts. With 2.0 sacks, Koonce would become the third player in Raiders history since 1982 to record 2+ sacks in three straight games. This would be the first time since Khalil Mack had 2+ sacks in three consecutive games in 2015. With 2.0 sacks, Koonce would be just the fifth player in Raiders history to record 7.0+ sacks in a three-game span.

Lastly, defensive end Maxx Crosby is a player to watch for against the Colts. With three tackles, Crosby will notch his second consecutive season with 85+ tackles. He would be one of only two defensive linemen since 2000 to record two seasons of 85+ tackles. With seven tackles, Crosby would reach 89 tackles in 2023, notching a single-season career high. His 89 tackles would also be the most in a single season by a defensive lineman in Raiders history. Crosby has ten solo tackles, eight assists, and 1.0 sacks in four games against the Colts.

Be on the watch for these three Raiders as they are all on record-breaking watch against the Colts in Lucas Oil Stadium. With a win over the Colts, the Raiders would improve their record to 18-25 against the AFC South.
