The Eagles ripped the Raiders apart a few weeks back. Just how good was that Raiders D? Take a look at the last 4 games to appreciate how special the Eagles game was.
Opponent | Points | Yards |
---|---|---|
KC | 24 | 216 |
PIT | 18 | 276 |
PHI | 49 | 542 |
NYG | 24 | 251 |
The Raiders are 16th in yards allowed despite giving up more than 500 yards to the Broncos and Eagles. That tells you that the Raiders are pretty darn good most of the time. They were destroyed by explosive passing attacks led by Peyton Manning and Nick Foles.
That sentence is a big odd, huh? The results aren’t.
Foles and the Eagles offense are playing at a high level right now and that looks even better every time the Raiders go out and play good defense against some other team.
