Raiders seek first defensive shutout in 13 seasons under new coordinator

The Las Vegas Raiders are aiming to end a 13-season drought without a defensive shutout as they enter the 2026 NFL season. The team hired Rob Leonard as their new defensive coordinator and has brought in several new starters to bolster their defense. Their last shutout occurred on December 12, 2012, when they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 15-0. The Raiders currently share the fifth longest shutout-less streak in the NFL. Analysts suggest this new direction could be pivotal for the team’s defensive performance going forward.
