Looking back at the 2024 Las Vegas Raiders, one of the major reasons to point out for their struggles is how badly they lost the turnover battle.
Last season, the Raiders finished with the second-worst turnover differential in the league at -16 (13 takeaways, 29 turnovers). They also finished tied for the second-most turnovers given up in the NFL. The combination of getting too careless with the football on offense, while not making splash plays on defense, hamstrung the Raiders’ ability to put points on the board and keep their opponents off of it.
It is one of the litany of issues facing new head coach Pete Carroll in his first season with the Raiders, but it is a problem he is seeking to face head-on.
