With as volatile as football can be, the smallest of breaks could launch a Super Bowl run. Even the 1-15 Jacksonville Jaguars could position themselves to be a contender. Unlikely? Sure, but football is unpredictable for a reason. There is a path for all 32 teams to win Super Bowl LVI.
Let’s continue with the AFC West.
The Las Vegas Raiders had an up-and-down first season in Las Vegas. They were very busy during free agency, adding solid options on both sides of the ball. A successful draft will give Las Vegas a good chance of really improving in 2021. Shoring up the defense will likely be a main focus, so let’s dive into this seven-round mock draft.
After bringing on Jon Gruden for a massive contract, the Las Vegas Raiders truly hit the heights that Jack Del Rio did years ago. The Chargers, Broncos, and Chiefs are all improving, so it is time for Gruden to fix his drafting philosophy. The past few years have been unfruitful for the Raiders, so let’s see if this draft may turn the tide in an overpowered division.
Prior to the 2020 NFL season, three questions were posed for each of the 32 teams. This is the recap and answers to those questions for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Jon Gruden’s rebuild of the Las Vegas Raiders continued at snail’s pace in 2020. While the franchise relocated to Las Vegas, but still looked the same as in the first two years of Gruden’s comeback tour.
In their first year in Las Vegas, the Raiders had a season of ups and downs. They started the season with a 6-3 record over their first nine games, with wins over the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, and Cleveland Browns. However, they went 2-5 over their final seven games and ended the year with an 8-8 record, and missed the playoffs.
Week 17 takes us to Empower Field at Mile High in Denver to see the Denver Broncos take on the Las Vegas Raiders. Both the Raiders (7-8) and Broncos (5-10) are coming off last-minute losses in Week 16 at the hands of their opponent’s kicker.
Tonight we have the last Thursday night game of the 2020 NFL season as the 4-9 Los Angeles Chargers take on the 7-6 Las Vegas Raiders in a divisional battle of AFC West teams. These two teams faced off in Week 9, with the Raiders pulling out the 31-26 victory. The Raiders are fighting for their playoff lives while the Chargers are hoping to play spoilers.
It’s Week 15, and that means it’s on to the second round of the fantasy playoffs. To kick off the week, we have a matchup between AFC West division rivals as the 4-9 Los Angeles Chargers travel to Las Vegas to take on the 7-6 Raiders. While this is the last Thursday night game of the season, we have a game on Christmas Day that I will cover similarly, so be sure to be on the lookout for it.
The Chargers take on the Raiders in a Thursday night showdown to kick off Week 15 of the NFL season. It’s a rematch from the Week nine thriller that the Raiders won 31-26 in dramatic fashion.
The final Thursday night football game for the season is officially upon us. This week, it’s a battle in the AFC West with the Las Vegas Raiders hosting the Los Angeles Chargers. The Raiders are coming into this game off of a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. That puts the Raiders in a must-win situation if they want a shot at making the playoffs. Last week, the Chargers pulled off a last-second field goal to beat the Atlanta Falcons. However, they have already been eliminated from any hope of the playoffs. That does not mean they can’t still play spoiler against a division rival. Let’s take a look at the top players in this matchup.
The Indianapolis Colts (8-4) travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders (7-5) in a crucial game that solidifies the AFC playoff bracket. The Colts are coming off a 26-20 win over the Houston Texans, courtesy of a late Deshaun Watson fumble in the fourth quarter. Las Vegas is coming off a brutal two-game road trip, with a last-second touchdown pass to Henry Ruggs III sealing the Week 13 victory against the winless New York Jets.
