The first quarter of the 2020 season has come and gone and we at Just Blog Baby name the MVP and other awards for the Las Vegas Raiders so far.

The Las Vegas Raiders wrapped up the first quarter of the season with a loss at home to the Buffalo Bills, but they currently sit at a respectable 2-2 despite a tough start to the schedule. Unfortunately for the Raiders, the schedule does not get any easier in the second quarter of the season but let’s focus on the positives from the first four games.

The season started off with a exciting road win against the Carolina Panthers and continued with a relatively comfortable home win against the New Orleans Saints. That was of course the opener to Allegiant Stadium and was the perfect way to open the Raiders’ new home on Monday Night Football.

After the hot start, the Raiders cooled down with two straight losses to AFC East opponents as the injuries, penalties, and general sloppy play mounted. The optimism is still present in Raider Nation and there were plenty of positives from the first four games, even if there plenty of reasons to be pessimistic as well.

In terms of individual performances, several players stood out for a multitude of reasons and we at Just Blog Baby would like to recognize them at the quarter mark of the season.
