He has 19 TDs and three INTs for the season. ... The Raiders have 11 sacks in the first 10 games, ranking 31st in the league.

Las Vegas allowed Kansas City to score TDs on two drives of at last 90 yards last week after giving up none in the first nine games. ...

Both teams are at plus-1 in turnover margin. ... Las Vegas is 2-1 in the Eastern Time Zone this season, winning at Carolina and Cleveland, while losing at New England. ... The Raiders lost last week for just the third time in the past seven seasons when scoring at least 30 points. ... Falcons QB Matt Ryan is coming off his lowest-rated passing game (48.5) since 2013. He completed just 19 of 37 passes for 232, with two interceptions, in the loss at New Orleans. ... Ryan was sacked eight times by the Saints, one off his career high. ... This will be the 200th game of Ryan’s career. ... The Falcons aren't much better at pressuring the quarterback than Las Vegas, getting 17 sacks to rank 24th in the league. ... DE Dante Fowler Jr. has rejoined Atlanta’s active roster after missing last week’s game while on the COVID-19 reserve list. ... Raheem Morris is 3-2 since taking over as Atlanta’s interim coach.

Atlanta ranks second in the NFL in passing yards (280.6 per game), which is the sixth most in franchise history through the first 10 games. ... Falcons RB Todd Gurley was ruled out with a knee injury, denying him a shot at becoming the seventh player in NFL history with at least 10 rushing TDs in five of his first six seasons. He leads the Falcons with 610 yards rushing and nine TDs. ... Atlanta is one loss away from its third straight non-winning season. ... The Falcons have four players with at least 35 receptions, led by Calvin Ridley with 48 catches for 747 yards and six TDs. He's followed by Julio Jones (45), Russell Gage (42) and TE Hayden Hurst (37). .... Fantasy tip: Look for Ryan to bounce back against the NFL's 28th-ranked pass defense. He had a rating of at least 130 in two of his last three games against the Raiders.
