The Las Vegas Raiders' offense is still a work in progress. The Green Bay Packers' defense could be just what they need to get going.
The Las Vegas Raiders' offense has yet to find itself through four games this season. The Raiders do not have the only crime in the National Football League in that situation, as it is still early in a long NFL season.
Enter the Green Bay Packers' defense, which gives up 4.5 yards per carry and ranks 30th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed. However, the Lions were able to get that big lead, in part, by running the football, and they, respectfully, do not have a running back as talented as the Raiders do in Jacobs, who led the NFL in rushing last season.
