Who Do The Las Vegas Raiders Face At Home In 2023?
The Raiders will be on the road for the first two weeks of the 2023 season. However, their home opener is in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. These two teams faced off in Week 16 last year, with the Steelers pulling out the 13-10 victory.
Pittsburgh held Davante Adams in check that week, limiting the superstar wide receiver to only two receptions on nine targets for 15 receiving yards. However, Hunter Renfrow had four receptions on seven targets for 42 receiving yards in the game. Furthermore, he scored his first touchdown of the season against the Steelers.
Las Vegas will have nine home games this year. They will face their division rivals at home in Week 12 (Kansas City Chiefs), Week 15 (Los Angles Chargers), and Week 18 (Broncos).
Who Do The Las Vegas Raiders Face On The Road In 2023?
The Raiders will be in Denver to kick off the 2023 season. While the Broncos have one of the top defenses in the NFL, Josh Jacobs had his way against Denver last year. The star running back had 52 rushing attempts for 253 yards and two touchdowns in the two matchups against the Broncos in 2022.
Unfortunately, the Raiders have another tough matchup in Week 2 as they take on the Buffalo Bills.
