He appreciates the fact Raider Nation travels well and is a supportive fan base.

"I mean I knew Raider Nation travelled well when we went to Arizona, it damn near like a home game there. It was very impressive, there's only a few fan bases that travel like that. I would say Seattle, Oakland, and the Steelers travel well too, but it's always good to have your own fans wherever you go. They played a big part in the shift in the momentum yesterday and really believing in us, and we really appreciate it."

Irvin compared the Raiders defense to the Seattle Seahawks, saying that things take time to develop.

"That is not the standard that we want to be at, I try to tell them, and I told a couple dudes last night that in Seattle we weren't always dominant like that, we had our aches and pains, such as yesterday. Before we really gelled that thing together, and really started dominating other teams. It takes time, we got a lot of new pieces, me, Reggie, Sean, new faces, just got to be able to work through the aches right now. I'm very confident that we'll get it together, and we'll be one of the top defenses in the coming weeks."

He shared why he feels there are similarities between the Raiders and the team when he was in Seattle.
