For the third time this season and the second time in as many games, the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense is preparing to face a rookie quarterback taken in the top six picks.
If the first two meetings are any indication, the Raiders are facing a big challenge Saturday night when they host quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins.
Tagovailoa — who was a college teammate of young Raiders’ offensive weapons, running back Josh Jacobs and wide receiver Henry Ruggs III, at Alabama — was the No. 5 overall draft pick in April.
