AUTOMATION (AP) — On Monday night, the Detroit Lions, who are currently atop the NFC North, and the Las Vegas Raiders will have a similar opponent.
Both sides are attempting to recover from crushing defeats.
Detroit lost by 32 points at Baltimore, bringing an end to their four-game winning streak. Before dropping a game by eighteen points at Chicago, Las Vegas had won two in a row.

McDaniels remarked, “He’s matured.” “You can observe an increase in his efficiency and his excellent decision-making. When it comes to the ball, he rarely makes mistakes. He is quite intelligent and may be violent when necessary.
