Raiders vs Broncos: Offensive Grades for 2021 Week 16
Offensive Line
This was by far the best offensive line performance of the season. Don’t get me wrong, they still allowed a good amount of pressure, and two sacks against Derek Carr, but that’s to be expected with a defensive line as talented as the Broncos are they did their most impressive work in the running game especially in the second half and that’s the most important part of the game.
They helped lead the Raiders to their most rushing yards in a game this season with 160 yards and was able to dominate the Broncos defensive line in the run game. This game also marks the second straight week of improvement for both right guard Alex Leatherwood and right tackle Brandon Parker as both players have posted their best grade per PFF these last two weeks.
Going against the defensive lines that the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers possess make the improvement of these two players so important for the Raiders offense going forward.
Grade: B-
