It has been a downright terrible season for the Oakland Raiders, but we did find five things to be thankful for this holiday season.

The Oakland Raiders have been one of the worst teams in football this season, as they currently are the only team with one win on the season. Players like Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper have been traded away, and the team just has not been able to play consistent football for four quarters.

Head coach Jon Gruden signed a ten-year/$100 million guaranteed contract in January, and the feeling was he could turn this roster of players into a playoff team. Instead, he stripped it of some of its elite talent, leaving a bunch of veterans and rookies to try to get wins in a very tough AFC West.

As we enter the Week 11 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, it is time to take a step back and think about things to be thankful for, especially with Thanksgiving on the horizon. The 2018 campaign may be lost, but we found some things that should put a smile on Raiders fans heading into next year.

As we enter the holiday season, here are five things all Raiders fans should be thankful for in 2018.
