The Raiders are in good position to rebound from a last-minute loss to the one of their oldest rivals.
Following a 35-31 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on "Sunday Night Football" last week, the Raiders travel to Atlanta to play the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday. The Falcons have won three of their last five games after an 0-5 start, and the Raiders will be playing in their first of two straight games away from home in the early window.
Still, the Raiders should have enough to beat the Falcons. They were a late defensive stop away from beating the reigning Super Bowl Champions, and they had won three straight games beforehand.

The Raiders have been road warriors so far this season, going 4-1 away from Allegiant Stadium. With a victory Sunday, the Silver and Black can clinch their first season with a winning road record since 2016.
That, coincidentally, was the last time the Raiders would made the playoffs. A win Sunday would also help Las Vegas solidify its hold on one of the AFC's seven postseason spots.
