Raiders DE Khalil Mack has been historically dominant

AFC West, Khalil Mack /

Despite the Oakland Raiders ranking No. 26 in team defense a season ago, edge rusher Khalil Mack remains a bright spot for a defense seeking improvement.

Mack’s vicious pass rushing and run stuffing capabilities garnered him Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2016. However, last year wasn’t Mack’s first season dominating opposing offensive lines; it’s a trend he has continued since his rookie campaign in 2014.

Derek Carr

The NFL’s Best Game Closing Duo

AFC West, Analysis, Jalen Richard /

Carr and Mack are the perfect game closing duo as team captains. From the locker room to the huddle, every player has faith in the duos ability to win under any circumstance. That’s a powerful tool for a team that has a challenging 2017 schedule. With a coach earning the fan title “Black Jack” Del Rio for showing his willingness to take risks late in games because of them, it’s hard ever to count the Raiders out. It doesn’t also hurt to have one of the leagues all-time best kickers in Sebastian Janikowski on the sideline, a trio perhaps?
