The Oakland Raiders are a trendy playoff pick for the 2016 season, largely on the strength of their holdover offensive talent and their offseason defensive overhaul. A key component of said overhaul was the acquisition of Bruce Irvin, who will play across from star pass-rusher Khalil Mack on the defensive line.
It didn't take long for Irvin to make his presence known as a Raider. On New Orleans' third play from scrimmage, Irvin came up from behind Drew Brees and gave the Raiders their first red-zone opportunity of the season.
