The Raiders offense might not rank among the best in the league in points scored, but there’s one thing that they do better than almost any other team, and that’s protecting the quarterback.

The offensive line has given quarterback Derek Carr plenty of time to distribute the football, as he has only been sacked 24 times this season, tied for for the fifth-fewest.

This isn’t favorable for a Chargers pass rush, who has been one of the more disappointing areas, totaling only 27 sacks this season, which ranks 27th in the NFL.

Oakland will be without offensive tackle Trent Brown, as he was placed on the injured reserve on Wednesday. But they still possess a stout group led by veterans Rodney Hudson and Richie Incognito, who won’t make it any easy task to generate any pressure.
