The eighth and ninth ranked defense in terms of points and yards allowed. That’s what awaits Las Vegas Raiders interim offensive coordinator Bo Hardegree in the team’s Sunday night matchup with the visiting New York Jets.
Gang Green has quality talent at all levels of its defense and it’s coached by two of the better defensive minds in the league in head coach Robert Saleh and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich. Under those two, the Jets have limited opponents to 156 points total in eight games along with 2,496 yards.
The squad is basically a no-fly zone defense allowing the third-least touchdowns (eight) through the air and yards (1,398) in the league.
