The Oakland Raiders have surprised a lot of people this season, but what isn’t a surprise is how much of a difference maker Khalil Mack continues to be.
The defensive end had six total tackles, with one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one interception and one touchdown Sunday in the Raiders’ thrilling 35-32 home win over the Carolina Panthers.
His interception also was a pick six, and it helped the Raiders go up 24-7 over the Panthers late in the second quarter.

The Panthers came roaring back, but the Raiders scored 11 unanswered points to take the lead with under two minutes remaining in the game. And Mack made sure Oakland fans went home happy with a strip-sack of Carolina quarterback Cam Newton.

So just how good has Mack been lately?
Khalil Mack had an INT, sack, FF, FR and TD. He's the 1st player since Charles Woodson in 2009 to do all 5 of those things in same game. pic.twitter.com/XI8DS22Bqb

Khalil Mack's last 6 games: 7.0 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, a pick six, 29 total tackles. Monster.
