Las Vegas Raiders Shift Focus to Los Angeles Rams

The Las Vegas Raiders will turn their attention towards the Los Angeles Rams this week, looking to advance to 2-0 on the preseason.

Following their 34-7 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, the Las Vegas Raiders will need to quickly move on, as they get ready to head to Los Angeles for a week with the Rams.

The two teams will have joint practices this week before they face off on Saturday night.

While the Raiders had a couple joint practices with the 49ers last week as well, things will be a little different this time around.

"I think one's the same in terms of the work, the competition, the structure," Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels said when he addressed the media after Sunday's game with San Francisco. "I think we'll get tested in every phase for two-straight days with a really good team that's well coached, has got a lot of really good players. So this will be a great opportunity for us to get challenged in a different way. 

"Some of their strengths might be a little different than San Francisco's. The scheme is definitively different on both sides. And so, that was kind of what we thought about relative to putting these things together and how we could benefit. So, there's going to be a lot of work that we put in here in the next 48 hours to get ourselves ready to go for Wednesday. And I'm looking forward to this opportunity for our team."

The Raiders and Rams last met in Week 14 of last season when the latter executed on a game-winning 98-yard drive with under two minutes remaining.

The Silver and Black return to preseason action when they play the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 19, at 9 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. PDT.
