Oakland Raiders Week 15 Review: 3 stars and 3 duds

The Oakland Raiders gave the Coliseum and its fans one last heartbreak as they ceded the final game in Oakland to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here are three stars and three duds from the loss.

The Oakland Raiders are a storied franchise, and its fanbase in Oakland has personally witnessed the highs and lows the organization has gone through. With a playoff hunt realistically out of the picture, a win in the Raiders’ final game in Oakland could serve as a chance to help end an era of Raiders football on a positive note.

Instead, fans were treated to yet (another) heartbreak.

Despite another sharp opening drive that resulted in a touchdown, the Raiders remained stagnant from there on out through the remaining three quarters. Despite leading 16-3 heading into halftime, Oakland allowed Jacksonville to embark on a 17-3 run, the latter touchdown proving to be the game-winner, capping off an excellent drive by Gardner Minshew with just 31 seconds remaining on the clock.

Numerous missed opportunities, like Daniel Carlson‘s back to back missed field goals and dropped passes by the Raiders receivers, ultimately proved to be the Raiders’ downfall as they fell to the Jaguars 20-16 in the last game ever in Oakland.

Here are three stars and three duds from Sunday’s loss.
