Week 16 snap counts: Raiders went final 10 minutes without 2 Pro Bowl defenders vs Steelers

Raiders were without two Pro Bowl defenders for final 10 minutes vs Steelers

There is 60 minutes in an NFL game. And for 50 of those minutes Saturday, the Raiders defense held the Steelers to three points.

Unfortunately, for the final 50 of those 60 minutes, the Raiders *scored* only three points.

In times like these, the Raiders need to be at full strength on defense. For those final ten minutes, they were down two crucial parts of their defense. Two Pro Bowl players, as a matter of fact.

They lost DE Chandler Jones early in the third quarter and he did not return. Then early in the fourth quarter, they would lose LB Denzel Perryman as well.

Jones had been playing his best football of late for the Raiders, including making the game-winning fumble recovery for a touchdown the previous game against the Patriots. While Perryman is the quarterback of the Raiders’ defense and their leading tackler.

Thus after keeping the Steelers offense from getting in the end zone all game, the Raiders defense finally broke down in the final minute to give up a score. And with the Raiders offense unable to get in the end zone after their opening drive, that score was enough for the Steelers to pull out the 13-10 win.
