Raiders Struggle in Third Quarter, Ranking Last in NFL
The Raiders have demonstrated their ability to start games strong and remain competitive, but they struggle significantly in the third quarter, which has contributed to their ranking at the bottom of the NFL.
This season, the team has been outscored by 26 points in the third quarter, the worst differential in the league, including a 24-3 deficit during their current three-game losing streak. Coach Klint Kubiak has acknowledged the need for improvement, particularly in maintaining momentum after halftime.
Despite showing promise in other quarters, the Raiders have repeatedly failed to capitalize on their opportunities after halftime. Kubiak is tasked with addressing this issue as the team prepares to face the Rams, emphasizing the importance of translating practice strategies into effective game execution.
