One of the Las Vegas Raiders’ biggest offseason objectives paid off big time on Sunday in an emotional win over the Denver Broncos.
The Raiders pressured Denver quarterback Teddy Bridgewater constantly, forcing him into throwing three interceptions and losing one fumble in a 34-24 Las Vegas victory. The Raiders had five sacks, including three from defensive end Maxx Crosby. He had 12 total pressures, according to Pro Football Focus, which counted four different defensive lineman with at least four of Las Vegas’ 33 pressures on Sunday.
In addition to Crosby, new Raiders defensive linemen Yannick Ngakoue, Solomon Thomas and Quinton Jefferson, and holdover Carl Nassib, were extremely active in the game.
