“In Sunday’s game against Baltimore , Oakland’s front seven really imposed its will on offensive coordinator Cam Cameron ’s”

In a classic game of wills, the Raiders’ defense exploited an opening in Ravens offense thanks to some savvy play-calling by head coach Jack Del Rio. They were able with help from their star linebacker Khalil Mack who had 3 sacks among his 13 tackles; although it wasn’t enough they won 27 – 24!
