The Raiders need a pass rush

So this is another thing that we have known about the Raiders for a while, but it has not been more clear than it was on Sunday. Aaron Rodgers had all day to find his open receivers, which was a big reason he was able to carve up the secondary.

The Raiders were able to sack Rodgers one time, but outside of that the pass rush was nonexistent. As much as everyone wanted the Raiders to improve their pass rush during the offseason, they have not performed too bad this season. The Raiders have been able to get to the quarterback in a few games this season, but their inconsistency is a massive red flag.

The Raiders need to go out and get another pass rusher. Clelin Ferrell is still extremely young, but he is not showing much promise so far. Benson Mayowa has been impressive, but he is currently in a strange situation. Arden Key has not played well. Outside of Maxx Crosby and Maurice Hurst, the defensive line has a big question mark around it, and it needs massive improvement soon.
