COSTA MESA, Calif. — The Las Vegas Raiders' defensive line is ranked ninth in the NFL by Pro Football Focus and the the offseason signing of tackle Christian Wilkins is one of the major reasons why. Wilkins, who spent five seasons with the Miami Dolphins, finally gives end Maxx Crosby a running mate on his level. The defensive line has performed well early in training camp in 11-on-11 drills. Quarterbacks Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew are being forced to make quick decisions and their passes often wind up on the ground or in a defender's hands. Crosby says winning football games is all that matters.
