Overview
- The Raiders are 3-1 but rank last in rushing efficiency, averaging about 3.13 yards per carry and roughly 93 rushing yards per game.
- Klint Kubiak said he “put it on myself” and indicated coaching and game-plan adjustments after Sunday’s 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Las Vegas added Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum and starter Spencer Burford in the offseason, yet the line still ranks second-worst in yards before contact at about 1.8 yards, showing little push on running plays.
- Ashton Jeanty says his August ankle is improving but has been inconsistent, while Mike Washington Jr. has flashed explosiveness, including a prior 36-yard TD, yet was limited to 18 yards on nine carries by Kansas City.
- Kirk Cousins and a heavily targeted tight-end group have kept the offense scoring at least 26 points per game, but unresolved run-blocking and recent special-teams mistakes raise the stakes for the coaching staff’s next adjustments.
