Kittle is the best TE the Raiders' defense has faced; no legitimate matchup answer.

Matt Holder notes that the Raiders' defense doesn't have a legitimate answer for George Kittle, who is "the best one the Raiders' defense has faced" at tight end. Holder emphasizes that Kittle is "basically a sixth offensive lineman in the running game" and is the better overall tight end compared to Brock Bowers, though he acknowledges Bowers' unique passing-game value.
