Jon Gruden: Raiders 'Gotta Do Something to Get More Pressure' After Broncos Loss

The Oakland Raiders have started 0-2 under new head coach Jon Gruden, and one of the issues for the team has been the defense's inability to get after the quarterback, with just two sacks this season.

“We gotta do something to get more pressure, maybe call more blitzes," Gruden acknowledged after the game, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic.

There is a certain level of irony in Gruden making those comments just two weeks after trading one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL, Khalil Mack, to the Chicago Bears. In his first game with the Bears, Mack registered a sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, an interception and a defensive touchdown.
