It has been one of the craziest weeks in the history of the Oakland Raiders franchise, but they could end it on a high note Sunday in Cincinnati.

The Oakland Raiders played their best game of the 2018 NFL season on Sunday, as they stunningly beat the Pittsburgh Steelers inside the Oakland Coliseum. The win was the team’s hird of the season, and while they are not headed to the playoffs, the victory will go a long way for the younger players on the roster.

Jon Gruden has preached all season that the team is not tanking, and not giving up on the season, and they proved that to the fan base on Sunday. They played with heart, and after the game, the beat writers who cover the team could hear the players through the walls.

Entering a week where they would play the Cincinnati Bengals, who has not won in their last five games, you would think the focus would be on winning back-to-back games for the first time all season. Instead, the Raiders had one of the craziest weeks in franchise history, and here is a quick look at the week that was for the Silver and Black.
