The pressure is off.
Sort of.
The Las Vegas Raiders got their first takeaway of the 2023 NFL season in Week 4 when safety Tre’von Moehrig nabbed an errant Justin Herbert threw in an eventual 24-17 Las Vegas road defeat. It was Herbert’s first pick of the season.
Now, that the Raiders got their first takeaway, it’s time to add to that. The team has struggled in this area for years and it’s expected a change this year after emphasizing it all offseason and in training camp and adding ball-hawk starting cornerback Marcus Peters.
