The Las Vegas Raiders continue to struggle with defending the run, as evidenced by their loss to the Los Angeles Chargers who rushed for 150 yards in the second half. Coach Antonio Pierce is not satisfied with the performance and is looking to clean up the run defense. The Raiders will face a tough challenge against the Baltimore Ravens with quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry. Jackson showcased his dual-threat abilities in the season opener, while Henry poses a significant threat on the ground. The Raiders are dealing with injuries on the defensive line, which has led to some roster moves in preparation for the upcoming game. The team is also dealing with limited availability from key offensive linemen, adding to the challenges they will face in Baltimore. In an unconventional move, the Raiders had to practice indoors due to smoke from nearby wildfires, impacting their usual game preparation routine. The team will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities to stand a chance against the Ravens in their upcoming matchup.
