In this story:

BALTIMORE, Md. -- The Las Vegas Raiders (0-1) are looking to right the wrongs of their Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers when they take on the Baltimore Ravens (0-1) at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday.

Remember the rule of five. The game is over if the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle. For those who don't remember it, it has to do with sacks and turnovers. If the Raiders have three sacks and give up two, they are plus one. They are plus three if they get four turnovers and give up only one. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. On average, teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games.

The Raiders' offense struggled in Week 1, which ultimately led to their downfall at SoFi Stadium. For them to have any chance of overcoming Baltimore on the road on Sunday, the unit has to play a near perfect game, and that will start with solid blocking up front, as well as discipline -- avoiding costly penalties in a game where you're already the major underdog.

Baltimore, meanwhile, will want nothing more than to even their record with statement win at home.

--

Once again, the Las Vegas Raiders just couldn't get the offense going in the first half of their Week 2 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

It was the same issues as well, blocking up front and the inability to get the ground game rolling.

The Raiders produced just 4 rushing yards out of their total 43 yards. Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II was sacked three times.

Minshew had some solid moments, just as he did in Week 1, finding targets like wide receiver Davante Adams, rookie tight end Brock Bowers and second-year tight end Michael Mayer.

One bright spot for the Silver and Black so far as that they have zero penalties.

The defense continues to dominate, having limited the Ravens' offense to just three field goals and not a single touchdown.

If the Raiders can start gaining some ground on offense and, defensively, continue to keep Baltimore out of the end zone, they have a very good chance of pulling off this road upset.

Raiders' notable stats:

Davante Adams: 22 yards on four receptions

Brock Bowers: 16 yards on three receptions

Tre Tucker: 13 yards on two receptions

Michael Mayer: 11 yards on one reception

Gardner Minshew II: 64 passing yards
