The Oakland Raiders have finally become a productive defense against the run.

The Raiders rank 11th in fewest rushing yards per game (102.1) and ninth in yards per carry (3.9).

The Raiders allowed an NFL-worst 5.1 yards per carry last season.

The Raiders haven't finished better than 22nd against the run in any of the past nine seasons.

Since giving up 263 yards and four touchdowns on the ground to the Dolphins in Week 2, the Raiders have completely turned around their run defense.

"In the Dolphins game, we didn't have great run defense, and we had an attitude about it," linebacker Philip Wheeler said. "We don't want nothing like that to happen again."
