It seems like an almost weekly occurrence now. Players facing the Raiders this season had their best games and were named Player of the Week. The latest is this week's AFC Defensive Player of the Week, Trey Hendrickson.

Hendrickson recorded four sacks, the most of his career, as well as a pass breakup and a forced fumble in the Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He took full advantage of the Raiders' injury issues at left tackle, picking up his first sack while facing primary backup Andrus Peat and the other three while lining up opposite third-stringer Thayer Munford.

A few more rushes from Hendrickson. Munford made the rounds on social media. In one he was flat-footed, in the other he was thrown on his back.

This is the third time in the last five weeks that a Player of the Week has emerged from a matchup with the Raiders.

The first time was CB Patrick Surtain, the Week 5 AFC Defensive Player of the Week, who had two interceptions, including a pick six in the Broncos' 34-18 win over the Raiders.

The other time was Week 7 NFC Defensive Player of the Week Cobie Durant, who had an interception, two pass breakups and a forced fumble returned for a touchdown in a 20-15 win over the Raiders.

This is becoming a real issue for the Raiders this season. They've often been called the cure for your ailments, but lately they've become the gift that keeps on giving.
