Las Vegas Raiders finished season 4-13, with two of their worst performance against Los Angeles. Their first confrontation against Los Angeles indicated how the rest of the season would take place, because the raiders suffered a massive injury a few days before the match and failed to stop the race or play enough in attack to have a realistic blow to win.
Raiders and chargeers opened and closed the season with games against each other, when they clashed in week 1 and week 18. The two games resulted in two -digit victories for Los Angeles .
However, as frustrating as the two losses against the charge were, many statistics explain why the raiders had difficulties so powerfully, because the charges had technically one of the best defenses in the league this season. Add this to the fact that the Raiders offensive struggled to go out with last season, and the inability of raiders to beat the loaders this season is logical.
Ben Rolfe of Professional football network Classified each defense of the National Football League after an entire season game season, without the Super Bowl. Rolfe classified the loads as the fourth best defense in the league.
“The defense of Los Angeles loaders has experienced a performance slightly lower than the average according to their standards in the defeat of the Joker against the Texans of Houston (77.1, C +). Of course, the offensive was much more guilty for The team’s release, titable by Justin Herbert’s’s four interceptions.
“The charges mainly played their seasonal averages against the Texans. The race defense was a little worse than usual (the seventh cunning the success rate of the season), which was disappointing against an assignment to rush The Texans.
Rolfe noted the improvement of the defense of the charges in an offseason under the head coach Jim Harbaugh. Given the height of the defense of statistically, it is logical to know why an offense of raid putrides Fight in both games against them.
“The unit of Jesse Minter ended up being one of the most improved in 2024,” said Rolfe. “The alleged defensive guru Brandon Staley never obtained this unit at the highest of the 24 in his three seasons. Although the chargeers were perhaps not as tall as their n ° 1 defense rank Indicated, it was undoubtedly an elite unit. “
While raiders work on Improve their list for next seasonThey do not need to seek further than the other teams of the division to see how far a quality defense can take a team.
