In the first two weeks of the NFL season, Kolton Miller and Jermaine Eluemunor were arguably the league’s best tackle duo. Neither allowed a single QB hit or sack as they were able to keep Jimmy Garoppolo clean.
Unfortunately, that came to an end in Week 3 as the Raiders struggled to protect Garoppolo against the pass rush of the Steelers. Eluemunor had one of the worst games of his career, allowing two sacks.

Right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor struggled on Sunday Night Football as he battled mainly against T.J. Watt. Eluemunor allowed four pressures, including two sacks.
The Raiders will face another talented EDGE duo in Week 4 as they travel to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers. We will see if Garoppolo (concussion) is cleared to play in that game, but the Raiders will need their offensive line to play better, regardless of who is at quarterback.
