I don’t know how rare this is, but the Raiders are sitting in quite a spot in terms of turnovers. Seven weeks in, the Raiders are the worst is every turnover statistic. Some by a wide margin.
Here are the bottom five in each of the turnover stats for this season:
Interceptions:
28. Chiefs 8
28. Packers 8
28. Titans 8
31. Panthers 9
32. Raiders 10
Gardner Minshew 8
Aidan O’Connell 2
Fumbles lost:
27. Patriots 5
27. Vikings 5
27. Broncos 5
27. Saints 5
31. Cardinals 6
31. Raiders 6
Gardner Minshew 2
Zamir White 2
Ameer Abdullah 1
Dylan Laube 1
Turnovers:
26. Packers 11
26. 49ers 11
26. Cowboys 11
26. Saints 11
30. Panthers 12
30. Titans 12
32. Raiders 16
Turnover differential
28. Eagles -6
28. Cowboys -6
28. Panthers -6
31. Titans -9
32. Raiders -13
Robert Spillane 1 INT
Tre’von Moehrig 1 INT
Nate Hobbs 1 INT
To make matters worse, they have yet to recover a single forced a fumble this season. So, they’re tied for the worst in that category as well.
These stats are why their turnover differential is twice that of the teams just two spots ahead of them.
Four times this season the Raiders have turned the ball over at least three times. Sunday against the Rams they turned it over four times. The first three turned in to touchdowns. The fourth ended the game.
