Going up against the No. 3 ranked scoring defense in the NFL, Derek Carr and the Raiders were severely overmatched on offense. They came into this game without two Pro Bowl pass catchers in Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow, who were placed on the injured reserve list before Week 10.
They were also without Pro Bowl left tackle Kolton Miller, who was a surprise scratch after being limited in practice with an injury. Going up against one of the league’s best pass rushes and secondaries, it was tough to envision the Raiders having much success on offense.
