Raiders’ issues run much deeper than quarterback in loss to Broncos

New York Times  

DENVER — The Las Vegas Raiders’ issues run much deeper than quarterback. That’s on me.” After the interception, Minshew went on to complete just three passes over the next five drives, taking two terrible sacks and throwing another miserable interception with the Raiders trailing by 10 in the third quarter. “I think we have a group of guys who want to look in the mirror, hold each other accountable, hold themselves accountable and try to get better.” Outside of a garbage-time scoring drive, the Raiders looked just as anemic on offense with O’Connell under center. Defensive end Malcolm Koonce and safety Marcus Epps are out for the year, linebackers Divine Deablo and Luke Masterson missed Sunday’s game, and defensive end Maxx Crosby is limited with a high ankle sprain.
