Raiders to face stiff Houston pass rush in playoff bid
Oakland offensive guard Bor Svihus faces hard hitting Oilers end Elvin Bethea in a key AFL playoff at the Oakland Coliseum. Svihus notes Bethea’s long arms and recovery speed as the Raiders seek to blunt Houston’s pressure after a season in which the line allowed minimal sacks. Bethea and Svihus clashed in a previous 21-17 Raiders win, described as a boxing match. Additional support comes from teammates Tom Domres Carel Stith and Pat Holmes, part of a defensive line that has 31 sacks this season versus the Raiders’ deeper group.
