Raiders Defense Turns It Around | Las Vegas Raiders News

Raiders defense flipped the script in their second preseason game, dominating the Texans with a ferocious front seven that racked up three sacks, eleven pressures, and two fumbles forced. After a shaky debut, the unit tightened up the run game, holding Houston under 80 yards rushing — a stark contrast to their earlier performance. Standouts like Thomas Booker IV, Patrick Johnson, and Jahfari Harvey delivered big plays, while undrafted rookies Cian Slone and Gary Smith III added crucial stops and a fumble recovery. With backups facing starters, this gritty performance signals promising depth and emerging talent — a bright spot for a roster still building toward the future.
