## Resource

The Las Vegas Raiders are banking on Spencer Burford to resurrect their struggling run game, a critical need after finishing dead last in rushing last season despite a top-tier running back. Burford, a former backup with the 49ers who showed flashes of elite run-blocking in 2023 but struggled with pass protection, now faces the spotlight as the linchpin of their offensive line. Playing alongside Tyler Linderbaum, Burford’s ability to open holes and hold up against elite defenses will determine whether the Raiders’ ground attack can finally break through. His performance could be the make-or-break factor for the team’s entire offense — a high-stakes gamble with the potential to transform their season.
