3. The Ugly: The Raiders can't seem to protect the rush.

How does the Las Vegas Raiders' defense give up 245 yards against one of the worst teams in the NFL? Furthermore, how does any team hoping for a playoff spot end up being pushed back 149 yards on the ground? Now, it is worth mentioning that the Raiders did a good job limiting Daniel Jones, even holding him to 110 yards and laying him down for two key sacks during the game. Jones was also only able to reach the endzone once in the air, meaning the Raiders did a great job putting pressure on their opponents all game long.
As for the running game, however, it appears as if the Raiders just didn't have an answer. For example, Devontae Parker racked up 99 yards against the organization, and Elijhea Penny tacked on another 35. These might seem like small numbers, but they really made the difference.
The team can not afford another loss like this.
