Raiders vs. Bears Live Game Updates, Analysis
CHICAGO, Ill.--The Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) are on the road today here in the Windy City to try to extend their winning streak to three games at Soldier Field and get over .500 for the first time since the first game of the season versus the Chicago Bears (1-5).
Fortunately for the Silver and Black, they aren't playing the Monsters of the Midway of old, but that doesn't mean the Raiders can take this team lightly.
Remember the rule of five. The game is over if the Raiders win that key statistical battle. It concerns sacks and turnovers for those who don't remember it. 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 impressive Las Vegas Raiders defense that has taken the field in recent weeks has been nowhere to be seen today.
The Raiders' defense has allowed two touchdowns and 173 total yards (80 on the ground and 93 in the air) against an offense that is being led by an undrafted rookie quarterback in Tyson Bagent.
Meanwhile, the Raiders offense hasn't had much to say for itself either, but a momentous drive before the half showed signs of what this group could do in the second half if it limits mistakes.
