Raiders combine for 4 sacks

The Oakland pass rush has produced their best back-to-back performances over the last two seasons. With fourth-round rookie Maxx Crosby outperforming expectations, he and the defensive line have started to make some noise around the league.

The Jets offensive line has allowed 40 sacks this season, and with a Raiders group of pass rushers with all the confidence in the world, I’d expect them to have a big day once again.

Over the last two games, Oakland has recorded a combined 10 sacks. With Sam Darnold’s traits of being a pocket quarterback without much ability to scramble, while also having an inconsistent offensive line, this should favor the Raiders defense.

I have the Raiders penciled in for a four sacks day — keeping the red-hot pass rush a highly productive group for another week.
