The Oakland Raiders saw their offense take a dramatic jump forward in Week 2 from Week 1. Coach Jack Del Rio believes the same thing is in store for the team’s defense.

While the Oakland offense played timely, dynamic football in a thrilling 37-33 upset win over visiting Baltimore on Sunday, the Raiders’ defense struggled for the second straight week.

The Raiders have allowed 889 yards and 66 points in two games. They have the 32nd-ranked defense in the NFL. Yet, Del Rio was confident about the unit turning the corner in his news conference on Monday.

“We just need to do what we do better,” Del Rio said. “I think we took a step forward as a football team. Offensively, some of the things we were talking about a week ago were a lot better this week. We’re looking to make the same kind of jump on defense. … Just not good enough yet, just a lot of work yet to be done. It’s a lot more fun to go through and make corrections with a win under your belt. We understand the need. The standard of defense and what we’re looking for has been established and we’re going to work to get that done.”
