While the Las Vegas Raiders have made considerable gains, especially with the Davantae Adams trade, what will happen when they cross paths with the Denver Broncos? Now that Russell Wilson will likely be taking over as their starting quarterback, there is a conversation to be had about how well the Raider's defense will fair against the team.

 Can Derek Carr stand up against a defense that was one of the best in the league last year? It's no secret that Carr has choked during big-game situations in the past, meaning it could very well happen again. Raiders coach Josh McDaniels spoke recently about what Russell Wilson in the AFC West meant, and he didn't hold back.

"There's a lot of things that stood out about Russell. I'd say, he's a great competitor," McDaniels said during an interview. "It's hard to count Russell out of anything. He throws a great deep ball. He's got a great command of the offense... You never feel like you've really got to a comfortable lead with Russell on the other sideline. So, that's a huge addition for the Broncos and it'll be a big challenge for us this year."
