While it has not gone well for the Las Vegas Raiders offensively, rookie tight end Brock Bowers has given fans a reason to believe.
The main problem with the Las Vegas Raiders is how bad they have been on the offensive side of the ball.
Coach Antonio Pierce’s team also ranks 27th in offensive EPA at -0.14. That stat calculates how many points a team is expected to score every play. Through six games, Bowers is tied for third in the league with 37 receptions, leads all tight ends with 384 yards, and has one touchdown. He is on pace for 104 receptions, 1,088 yards, and three touchdowns. That yardage total would set an NFL rookie tight end record.
Bowers is coming off a nine-catch, 71-yard performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This comes just one week after his 12-catch, 97-yard performance against the Denver Broncos, capped off with an excellent touchdown.
