The Las Vegas Raiders' offense has been pitiful for a good portion of the 2025 NFL season. Yes, they've been decimated by injuries, but offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and quarterback Geno Smith have failed to make adjustments and get the most out of the group they have.
Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and his group haven't been perfect either. However, they have had more highs than lows this campaign simply because they are not afraid to make changes, mix things up or adjust on the fly. Simply put, they have bounced back from every poor performance.
After a bad showing in the second half and overtime of the Raiders' Week 9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Graham and the defense responded on Thursday Night Football against the Denver Broncos.
