After a quality rookie season in 2013, Sio Moore returned as an even better defensive player in 2014.
The exuberant linebacker started 11 games at weak-side linebacker and totaled 112 tackles (79 solo), three sacks, two passes defensed and one forced fumble, according to coaches' statistics.
His 112 total tackles ranked third on the team, and his 3.0 sacks were tied for second on the defense.
During the team's opening game of 2014 against the New York Jets, Moore forced the second fumble of his career on a 12-yard sack of Geno Smith in the third quarter, giving him 5.5 sacks for his career. He also led the team in tackles that day, with 13 total tackles (11 solo).
Moore chased down Jamaal Charles in the backfield on second-and-long for a 12-yard loss during the Raiders Thursday Night match-up with the Kansas Chiefs, tying the second-most yards lost on a single play this season, tying his own 12-yard sack of Geno Smith on September 7th.
