Las Vegas Raiders at Atlanta Falcons: 4 things we learned in Week 12

The Las Vegas Raiders were embarrassed by the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12, here are four things we learned from the game.

The Las Vegas Raiders just came off a nail-biting loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 and they faced a crossroads before playing the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Would the heartbreaker against Kansas City cause the Raiders to lose focus and be emotionally spent, or would it fill them with confidence ahead of a game against a dangerous but inferior opponent?

Unfortunately for Raider Nation, it was the former, as the Raiders looked sloppy from the first snap on offense and could not get out of their own way on route to an embarrassing defeat against the Falcons. The Falcons led the game from end to end and beat up on the Raiders in all three phases of the game and completely dominated the Raiders.

If you did not know the records in the game, you would have assumed it was the Raiders that were 3-7 and not Atlanta.

Next up for the Raiders is a trip to New Jersey to take on the winless New York Jets who are dangerous in their desperation but before we look ahead to that matchup. With that said, let’s take a look back at the Week 12 game and what we learned from that beatdown.
