Von Miller: Raiders' O-line one of the 'meanest, toughest' in NFL

Brace Hemmelgarn / USA TODAY Sports

Von Miller knows Sunday night's game won't just be one of his team's toughest all season, but also the toughest matchup he'll see individually.

The Denver Broncos' star pass-rusher believes that, with the free-agent addition of Kelechi Osemele, the Oakland Raiders' offensive line has reached elite status.

"I think they're the second-highest-rated offensive line in the league after the Dallas Cowboys," Miller said, according to the Raiders' official website. "They probably have the biggest O-line in the National Football League, that's for sure. They're probably one of the meanest, toughest O-line too with K.O. (Osemele) and Rodney Hudson on the inside.

"Definitely a solid offensive line. I think they gave up the second-fewest sacks in the National Football League. They're protecting (quarterback Derek Carr) really well. They're having a whole lot of success up front."

Miller will try to knock the Raiders' O-line ranking down a few spots this weekend, when the silver and black will play their first Sunday night game since 2006.
