The San Francisco 49ers defense is the stingiest in the NFL. That’s a fact. Allowing just 230 points overall and yielding 4,355 total yards, DeMeco Ryans’ defense is the top-ranked unit amongst the 32 teams.
The Las Vegas Raiders certainly know all that and putting up points against a stout 49ers group is going to be a tall task. Benching starting quarterback Derek Carr and turning to backup Jarrett Stidham in the final two tilts certainly compounds that, but the Silver & Black have no choice but to move forward. And it’s not like the Raiders offensive cupboard is bare.
