Poor timing might be the only thing standing between Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers and the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

I am super proud of him and I can’t say enough good things about the guy.”The pass rush continues to excel with 17 sacks in the past five games, tied with the Green Bay Packers for fourth highest over that stretch.
