Khalil Mack Has Some Extra Motivation This Week

As if he needs the extra incentive, Mack will be squaring off against the team that traded him away

Khalil Mack told Deion Sanders on NFL Network that facing the #Raiders this week "is a game I've been looking forward to. I can't lie. It's going to be a big one for me."

Think Khalil Mack will be fired up when he faces the Oakland Raiders for the first time since they traded him to the Chicago Bears?

Since that trade, Mack has played with a chip on his shoulder and the results have been wildly impressive for him (and depressingly-awful for Oakland).

Khalil Mack has 82 QB pressures on 558 pass rushes since his trade to the Bears (14.7%)

The Raiders have 80 QB pressures on 523 pass rushes since the start of last season when they do not blitz (15.3%)

The Bears are five-point favorites against the Raiders in the NFL’s first London game of the 2019 season. Expect Mack to be extra-motivated, which is a scary thought for Derek Carr and his offensive line.
