Defensive clash between Raiders and Vikings as both remain scoreless


Strong outing for Raiders defense

Despite coming off of the bye week, the Silver and Black defense hasn’t skipped a beat.

They held the Vikings offense to just 88 total yards of offense with quarterback Josh Dobbs being limited to 40 passing yards. The Raiders kept the Vikings to -8 net passing yards in the first quarter, marking the second time this season Las Vegas has kept its opponent below 0 net passing yards in the first quarter (-11 vs. New England in Week 6).

The defense also had no problem applying pressure to the quarterback as they totaled four sacks throughout the half. With emphasis on Vikings’ star wide receiver Justin Jefferson back in action, the defense had him taken care of as he has totaled just 27 receiving yards from his two receptions before exiting with a chest injury. Jefferson is questionable to return.
