HENDERSON, Nev. -- What was meant to be the foundation of the Las Vegas Raiders' offense has been a weakness.
The Raiders vowed to be a run-heavy offense, improving on one of the worst rushing attacks in the league in 2024. But through two games, the Raiders' run game has resembled more of last year's effort. Heading into Sunday's road matchup against the Washington Commanders , Las Vegas is 28th in attempts (43), 31st in yards per game (62.0) and tied for 29th in rushing first downs (8).
Several factors have contributed to the Raiders' struggles, including inconsistent run blocking and the utilization of rookie running back Ashton Jeanty . One thing is clear: If Las Vegas wants to reach its full offensive potential, the team must find consistency in the run game.
