Raiders defensive line vs. Cardinals offensive line

What happens when a very stoppable force meets an entirely moveable object?

Well, we’ll find out when this Raiders D-line goes against the Cardinals O-line. Because these are arguably the two worst units in football and something has got to give.

The Raiders are dead last in pressures forced, and the Cardinals have allowed the second most QB hits in the league.

The Cardinals are in an even worst position coming into this week as they’ve got multiple injuries across the line and lost starting guard Justin Pugh for the season.
