A big part of the Oakland Raiders’ struggles on defense this year is edge rusher Khalil Mack’s lack of impact. But this week against the Baltimore Ravens, Mack gets back to his usual self, lifting the defense to win.

Hey Oakland Raiders fans, you do remember Khalil Mack, right?

His picture is on the back of milk cartons everywhere as he has come up missing in 2016. Yeah this is the same guy that was an All-Pro as a defensive end and an outside linebacker in 2015. But this year, he’s not getting to the quarterback the way he usually does.

The 2014 No. 5 overall pick has developed a reputation for harassing opposing quarterbacks. But he also has a reputation for starting his football season off slowly so the milk carton thing isn’t necessary. You can count on him to show up at some point.

Once he does, he sacks, hits, and pressures quarterbacks at a rate opposing teams can’t stand. And from what I can see, Mack will start to show up in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens. Everything is coming together for him and the Raiders defense for him to play well Sunday.
