3 things the Las Vegas Raiders would like to find in their Easter baskets

A Playoff Berth

If the Raiders could have anything in their Easter baskets on Sunday morning, it would be a playoff berth, something they have gotten only once since the 2002 NFL season. In fact, the Raiders have struggled to even play .500 football for the last two decades, but have improved in the win column the last two seasons, and are close to being a playoff team.

Last year, for the second season in a row, the Raiders got off to a fast start, only to see themselves fade away late in the year. After starting off with a 6-3 record, including wins against New Orleans and Kansas City, the Raiders lost all but two of their last seven games, once again finishing outside of the playoffs.

With 17 games in 2021, the Raiders could finally get over the hump.

For Raiders fans, we have been waiting for the team to make it back to the playoffs since the 2016 season and would give up all the candy in the world to see them playing meaningful games after the regular season has ended.
