ALAMEDA — Khalil Mack had no interest in beating his chest or proclaiming to the masses they were wrong about the supposedly leaky Raiders defense.
The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year saw the good and the bad, and has never paid much attention to outside noise anyway, unimpressed by the praise and unaffected by criticism.
Speaking in his usual hushed tones in front of his locker in an exclusive interview, Mack acknowledged the good start as well as the need for a stronger finish.
“You take your experience from the game, knowing that was a hell of an offense, going against (Marcus) Mariota and the O-line they have,” Mack said.
