The Oakland Raiders needed only 32 seconds to split the Broncos’ offensive line and get Trevor Siemian on the ground.
On the second play of the game Sunday, Raiders defensive end Mario Edwards barreled around Broncos left guard Max Garcia and slipped past left tackle Garett Bolles to find quarterback Siemian, who was getting ready to unload a pass.
In the second quarter, linebacker Bruce Irvin notched the Raiders’ second sack of the day after chasing down Siemian as he scrambled to evade pressure. And then in the third, reigning defensive player of the year Khalil Mack broke through double-teams to bearhug Siemian to the ground twice, the second of which nearly resulted in a fumble.
