Crazy and memorable stats from the Raiders' Week 9 game vs. 49ers

After a brief taste of victory, the Las Vegas Raiders suffered another humiliating defeat at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners scored the game’s first 14 points and kept the lead for the rest of the game. This latest setback gives the Raiders five losses in their last six games. As always, the numbers can help dictate what happened during this Week 9 game. Raiders' defense cannot prevent the other team from scoring Even in their Week 8 win against the Jets, the Raiders surrendered 33 points. They gave up 38 points to the 49ers, making it the sixth consecutive game that they’ve allowed their opponents to score 30 or more points, tying a modern NFL record. That stretch has the Raiders averaging a league-worst 29.8 points allowed per game, which negates their 26.4 points scored per game through Week 9. An abysmal ground attack against the 49ers The 49ers are one of the best teams at stopping the run, and they cemented that distinction after limiting the Raiders to 24 net rushing yards or 1.6 yards per carry. That’s not for one player, but for the entire team. Ashton Jeanty had six carries for 25 yards, and Brock Bowers had a two-yard carry. What’s shocking, though, is that Mike Washington Jr. finished with -3 yards on six carries a week after leading the Raiders against the Jets with 83 rushing yards. The one-dimensional Raiders offense is making it easier for teams to contain their schemes. Worse yet, they are averaging a miserable 71.3 rushing yards per game, the second-worst in the league. Brock Bowers provided consolation during a terrible performance The All-Pro tight end finished the Raiders’ Week 9 game with seven catches for 111 yards and a touchdown. He now has 2,532 receiving yards in 36 games, making him the fastest tight end to reach the 2,500-receiving-yard milestone. He broke Kellen Winslow’s previous record by one game. His haul against San Francisco gives him 658 receiving yards, the most among tight ends and good for the ninth-most in the league. Bowers even has more receiving yards than Amon-Ra St. Brown, Ja’Marr Chase, and Malik Nabers. Nakobe Dean streaking The Raiders may have lost, but Dean had a memorable night with a career-high 18 tackles (seven solo). His previous career high was 13, which he set on October 29, 2023 while playing for the Philadelphia Eagles. Dean’s Week 9 performance gives him 98 tackles, the second-most among all NFL players. He only trails the Denver Broncos’ Alex Singleton, who has 107. Furthermore, Dean is only the second player after Denzel Perryman to have at least 12 tackles in five consecutive games.
