Raiders pass rush vs Bengals line

The Raiders pass rush came alive in Week 10, getting to Philip Rivers all game long. The rookies showed out against the Chargers, especially Clelin Ferrell, who had 2.5 sacks now that the Raiders are finally lining him up on the outside.

The Raiders pass rush has received a lot of hate lately, but players like Clelin Ferrell, Maxx Crosby, and Benson Mayowa have all played well lately, and it seems as if the defensive line is starting to come together. In addition, the Raiders could have former No. 3 overall pick Dion Jordan available, as he worked with the ones this week.

On the other hand, the Bengals have one of the worst offensive lines in the league, allowing 3.4 sacks per game, ranking 28th in the league. If the Raiders can play the way they did Thursday, they should be able to record over four sacks in this game.
