Bradley Chubb/Von Miller vs Patrick Mahomes

If any rushers might have a chance to slow down Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, its the duo of Bradley Chibb and Von Miller. These two edge rushers will try to contain Mahomes to the pocket and not allow him to make throws outside the pocket where Mahomes excel. If these two can't do it, then, unfortunately, might be no one else that can.

Baker Mayfield vs Oakland Raiders Defence

In last weeks comeback win for the Cleveland Browns headed by rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield, he looked to get the confidence of the team trending upwards. This game will be an excellent test for both sides. On one side Baker Mayfield was okay, made some throws last week. This week against a mediocre to below average defence will be a good test for Mayfield if he can keep gaining momentum and confidence.

The other side facing a rookie quarterback for the Oakland Raiders will be a perfect test for head coach Jon Gruden, and his team as the Khalil Mack trade looks worse and worse each passing day.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs Khalil Mack

Fitzmagic is alive and well, after the almost comeback win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If there is anyone who can fizzle out the magic, it is defensive player of the year candidate Khalil Mack. Mack will try to get in the face of the gunslinger Fitzpatrick all day, and we will see if that magic will still be alive after week 4.
