Alexander Mattison on how the Raiders can be successful on the field

The Las Vegas Raiders haven’t established an identity all season on offense. Heading into the season, coach Antonio Pierce wanted to be a No. 1 team.

The Raiders have had sparks here and there, but the production on the ground hasn’t been consistent enough. When one thing is going right on offense, offensive coordinator Luke Getsy does the opposite.
