ALAMEDA — Bruce Irvin makes no secret about his desire to deliver his first 10-sack season.
“I definitely want to get that,” Irvin said. “I definitely … I’m gonna get it. I’m gonna get it.”
The Raiders outside linebacker, in his first season in Oakland after four years with the Seattle Seahawks, has made the elusive double-digit sack season a possibility with five in his past five games.
His seven sacks on the year leave him one away from his previous career high, set as a Seattle rookie in 2012. Defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr., Irvin’s linebackers coach for three years in Seattle, likes the fact that Irvin is motivated to reach that milestone.
