ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -The one constant for the Oakland Raiders through the first nine games was the ability to run the ball no matter the outcome, the defense or the running back.
That’s why the lack of a ground game during this current two-game lull is so surprising to the Raiders. Oakland has gained just 77 yards on 28 carries in back-to-back losses to Pittsburgh and Miami that have knocked the Raiders out of first place in the AFC West.
The Raiders (5-6) know they need to fix it soon if they are to have any hopes of staying in the playoff hunt. They travel to San Diego (6-5) on Sunday to face a Chargers team that has won four straight games and allowed the third-fewest yards on the ground in the league this season.
