Raiders run defense giving up only 3.0 yards per carry in last four games since Minnesota, Pittsburgh games

ALAMEDA _ Maybe Adrian Peterson did the Raiders some good after all.

It was a month ago that Peterson rushed for 203 yards and the Vikings gained 263 against a Raiders rushing defense that had been stout through most of September and October.

That came on the heels of a 195-yard effort by the Pittsburgh Steelers, with DeAngelo Williams gaining 195 yards on 30 carries.

“DeAngelo kind of got out on us then Adrian had a good game,” defensive tackle Dan Williams said Tuesday.“We had to clean some things up, clean our communication up, and make sure everybody was on the same page.
