Raiders need to solve penalty issue for playoff push

ALAMEDA — Jon Gruden brings back Raiders legends as often as possible to remind his team of the the rich tradition of the franchise.

One tradition the Gruden would like to do away with is penalties. The Raiders have led the NFL 18 times since 1963 (the most in NFL history) and are currently No. 2 in the NFL in both penalties (88) and penalty yards (779). Only Arizona (94) has more penalties and Cleveland (822) more penalty yards.

“It’s been addressed,” Gruden said Friday before the Raiders departed for New York to face the New York Jets.
