The Oakland Raiders are relieving Ken Norton of his defensive coordinator duties and will have John Pagano take them over.

The move comes after the Raiders lost 33-8 to the New England Patriots on Sunday in Mexico City.

Norton has been the Raiders' defensive coordinator since 2015, when he joined the team. He was the linebackers coach for the Seattle Seahawks for four seasons prior to joining Oakland.

Pagano is the team's assistant head coach.

Raiders opponents have completed 72.3 percent of their passes this season, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
