Jon Gruden’s return to Oakland Raiders is off to a nightmarish start.
Not only did Gruden trade superstar pass rusher Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears but the Raiders are off to 0-3 and that has a lot to do with the fact that the Raiders defense has taken a major step back due to their inability to rush the passer.
Go figure.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, Mack is single-handedly outperforming the entire Raiders defense:
Khalil Mack, by himself: 3 sacks, 3 forced fumbles this season.
The Raiders, as a team: 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble this season.

The more Khalil Mack continues to preform like, well, Khalil Mack, the more Gruden looks bad for trading a once in a generation pass rusher.
