The Las Vegas Raiders punched their ticket to the playoffs in Week 18, and here are the offensive grades for the Silver and Black.
The Las Vegas Raiders will be headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. It’s all the sweeter because the win not only propelled Las Vegas into the post-season but also eliminated a bitter rival in the Los Angeles Chargers.
This game came down to the wire, not only going into overtime but using the entirety of the clock during overtime. The team could have played it safe and kneeled late, as both teams would have gotten into the playoffs with a tie.
I’ll admit, I was thinking the respective coaching staffs should have agreed to just play for a tie to ensure their place in the Wildcard round, but the Raiders decided to play to win and it paid off.
The offensive side of the ball didn’t exactly light it up yardage-wise, but they got it done in the most important game of the season. With that, let’s us grade how each offensive unit performed in what was an absolute classic of a game.
