Luckily they should be able to take advantage of one of the NFL's worst run defenses when they host the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Michael Turner hasn't scored a touchdown or gone over 100 yards in the last two games after averaging 180.6 yards in the first five. Turner, who ranks third in the NFL with 655 rushing yards to go with six touchdowns, will get to face a defense that is giving up 377.3 yards per game and ranks 26th in the league in rushing defense, allowing 144.1 yards.
The 3-point underdog Raiders are not clicking on offense either. They managed only 35 yards of total offense in the first half en route to as 29-10 loss to Baltimore last Sunday. QB JaMarcus Russell was 15-for-33 for 228 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
