4 reasons the Oakland Raiders beat the Tennessee Titans in Week 14

Titans offensive line vs Raiders pass rush
If there were ever a time for the Raiders pass rush to prove their improvement, this is the week against a porous offensive line for the Titans. The Titans allow the most sacks per game out of any team in the NFL with 4.1 sacks per game, and the Raiders have some guys who can really get after the quarterback.
Maxx Crosby and company should have a big game against Tennessee, getting to Tannehill early and often, forcing the team to run the football. If the Raiders cannot get to the Titans quarterback this week, they have a real problem. However, the Raiders were able to get pressure on Patrick Mahomes last week, and have shown the defensive line is one of the more improved groups on this team in 2019.
The Raiders pass rush has not been great as of late, but the Chiefs have allowed less than two sacks per game this season, while the Jets game was bizarre all around. This is the week the Raiders pass rush bounces back, and they bounce back in a big way against Tannehill and the Titans.
