Looking Ahead

The Raiders will now hit the road for their final two games of the season, as they travel to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers in Week 16, and then Denver to close out their final season in Oakland. Heading into Las Vegas, it will be crucial for the Raiders to finish out the season strong, and then look to add the necessary pieces next offseason.

Divisional games are never easy, but looking at the rosters, the Silver and Black certainly have enough talent to close out their season with two straight victories. That would net them an 8-8 record, and at the beginning of the season, nobody would have guessed that this team would finish anywhere near that.

After the game, the players went over to the Black Hole and met with the fans for one final time. The Oakland Raiders may not have sent the fans away with one last win, but they made many memories along the way which will always be cherished by everyone in The Town.

Al Davis has created a fanbase that will forever be faithful to their team no matter where it goes.

Just Win, Baby!
