Through 15 weeks, the Raiders rank dead last in the NFL with only 12 sacks on the season. For perspective, that’s half as many as the next lowest ranked Miami Dolphins (24) on the year. It can be difficult to find positives on what has become one of the worst defenses in the league, but one has shone bright — rookie Maurice Hurst.
The former Michigan defensive tackle was considered one of the top talents in the 2018 NFL Draft, but fell to the Silver & Black in the fifth round due to a heart condition.
