Raiders’ Defense Struggles as Injuries Expose Weaknesses in Pass Rush

The Raiders’ struggles were compounded on Sunday as their secondary was exposed. Without an effective pass rush, there’s usually hope that the secondary can hold up for a bit longer, but that wasn’t the case this time. With Crosby dealing with an injury, the Raiders urgently need to develop a pass-rush strategy. Although Mad Maxx is likely to push through and play, it’s clear he’s not performing at his peak. Las Vegas must find another player who can disrupt the backfield quickly.
