Raiders fire defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr.
The Oakland Raiders have fired defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr., according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
What It Means:
At 4-6, the Raiders are second behind the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. While their offense ranks in the top half of the NFL, our metrics have their defense ranked 31st through 10 games. Former Chargers defensive coordinator John Pagano will take over for the rest of the 2017 season.
Averaging just 2.8 FanDuel points per game, the Oakland defense/special teams is projected for 6.1 FD points at $4,400 in a Week 12 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
