Seven offensive lineman. That’s the number of big uglies the Las Vegas Raiders deployed this past Sunday in their wild 30-24 victory over the New England Patriots. That particular number wouldn’t raise an eyebrow if it were of the extra linemen/jumbo package variety.
However, for the Silver & Black, it was simple attrition. The Raiders offensive line shuffle — an item that’s been ever-present in this 2022 campaign — was initially due to finding the right starting five combination. Against New England, however, it occurred due to injury.
The usual suspects played every snap — left tackle Kolton Miller, center Andre James, and right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor.
