The Las Vegas Raiders have a rich history.

So, when a player(s) has a chance to make history, it means more. And on Monday night, when the Raiders will aim to avoid falling to 1-4 on the season, Derek Carr, Darren Waller, and Maxx Crosby all have opportunities to make some history.

Waller needs 38 receiving yards to move into second place in franchise history for receiving yards by a tight end. Todd Christensen leads tight ends with 5,872 while Waller is chasing the ghost, Dave Casper, who had 3,294 receiving yards.

Waller had more than 38 yards in the first two games of the season but hasn’t hit that mark in the two most recent games.

Crosby is two TFLs away from surpassing Khalil Mack (52) for the most by a Raiders defensive lineman in their first four seasons since 1999. Maxx's 10 TFLs for the season would tie Clay Matthews and Demarcus Ware for the most TFLs through five weeks since 2010. Crosby leads the league in the metric and has two in each of the last two games, with four coming against the Broncos.

 Lastly, if Carr tosses one touchdown, he’ll become the 19th quarterback in NFL history to reach 200 passing touchdowns in 132 games or less.

200 touchdowns would also rank eighth in the league since he entered in 2014. Last week was the only time Carr hasn’t thrown for a touchdown this year.
