Looking Ahead for the Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders now sit at 7-7 on the season, and any likely playoff hopes went out the window on Thursday night. In the end, the defense was absolutely atrocious, getting shredded by the Chargers rookie quarterback, who looks like he is going to be a problem for the Silver and Black for many years to come.
For the Raiders, who got out to a 6-3 start, there are so many question marks as they head into the 2021 NFL season. Sure, they are not technically eliminated from the playoffs as of this piece, but looking at how they have played, and everything that has to happen for them to get in, it is almost slim to none chance.
Next up is the Miami Dolphins, as Tua Tagovailoa and company head to Allegiant Stadium in Week 16. With only two games left in the season, the Raiders are likely going to be watching the playoffs on their couches again, as they looked to have once again squandered an incredible start to an NFL season.
