What happened: Las Vegas allowed 45 points in the Week 5 defeat. Coaches are re-examining snap distribution after notable rotation shifts.

Why it matters: Defensive correction is central with conference positioning at stake in October. Restoring pressure and limiting explosives would stabilize field position and scoring margin.

By the numbers: Las Vegas allowed 45 points and 536 yards in Week 5, with 1 sack and 1 forced fumble.

What to watch: Practice reps this week will clarify rotation plans and availability for Week 6.
