The Oakland Raiders were in the middle of a great season before suffering 30 point losses in the last two weeks. This Week 14 game against the Titans is do-or-die for the Silver and Black.

The Raiders have suffered back to back devastating losses in the last two weeks, with 30+ point losses to the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs. The narrative of the Raiders season has quickly shifted from Jon Gruden and Derek Carr finally connecting and leading this team in the right direction, to looking to find Derek Carr’s replacement and giving up on the season completely.

Luckily for the Raiders, the narrative that the media creates does not matter, and the team is still in a position to make it into the playoffs. The Raiders sit at 6-6, one game behind for the Wild Card in a very tight AFC.

One of the teams that sit in front of them is their Week 14 opponent, the Tennessee Titans.

With this game being an absolute must-win for the Raiders, they are going to have to do everything right if they want to defeat the red-hot Tennessee Titans. Let’s take a look at four reasons why it will happen.
