Over the course of the second half of the season, the Oakland Raiders defense has stepped up its game. In his two seasons as the Silver and Black’s defensive coordinator, Ken Norton, Jr., has helped establish a solid pass rush and secondary that is able to force takeaways. Impressively, the Raiders have only allowed a total three points in the final three minutes of regulation through 15 games this season, and scored 42 points against opponents.
Prior to the team’s Week 17 matchup with the Denver Broncos, Norton discussed what he’ll expect come Sunday when the Raiders face a team with several athletic playmakers.
