Drafted just a year apart, Carr and Mariota have both enjoyed strong starts to their respective NFL careers, and are the faces of their franchises.

Not only that, they each lead dynamic offensive units; granted, their styles of quarterbacking are a little different.

While Carr has no issue taking off and running, showing off his athleticism in the process, No. 4 is lethal from the pocket, picking apart opposing defenses with his cannon of an arm. Mariota, on the other hand, is the prototypical dual-threat quarterback, which adds another dimension that Defensive Coordinator Ken Norton, Jr.'s group needs to prepare for.

"Everybody knows he [Mariota] is mobile," said cornerback David Amerson. "Anybody that can throw and run has some type of value to them; it makes them a threat. People change their whole defenses around running quarterbacks and stuff, but not only can he run, he's a pretty good thrower too. You really have a two-headed monster. He's perfect for that offense."

Carr is 2-0 in his professional career against Mariota – while at Fresno State, he did lose to Mariota and Oregon in 2012 – and whichever signal-caller can put together a better day will likely put their team in good position to win Sunday.

Linebacker Marquel Lee vs. Running Back DeMarco Murray

Less than a year ago, Marquel Lee was game planning for the likes of Virginia Tech, Duke, and Boston College.

Now, fast forward to September 2017, and the rookie linebacker is not only listed as the starting middle linebacker on the Raiders depth chart, he'll also be tasked with helping stop All-Pro running back DeMarco Murray Sunday afternoon.
