There’s a battle among the edge rushers on the Raiders to find a pass rush this season. Neither of the veteran defensive ends on the team were suited up for the game — Josh Mauro and Benson Mayowa, leaving the battle to the rest of defensive ends.
Incumbent starter Arden Key didn’t take the field to start the game. The starters were rookies Clelin Ferrell and Maxx Crosby — his primary competition for playing time this season. Key would soon get in the game and by the end, he led all defensive ends in snaps.
