Raiders: Reasons why Las Vegas will return to the playoffs next season

This Team is No Stranger to Adversity

After what this team went through last season, there are very few obstacles that can pose a greater challenge. Not only did they come back from losing a coach and a teammate, but they also came back from losing five of six games after the bye week. And those end-of-season wins came against two red hot teams, the Indianapolis Colts, and Los Angeles Chargers.

Heading into this season, no team can ever count the Raiders out. Any game they could come back to win, and at any point in the season, they could ignite a wild win streak. If this team can find a way to win and overcome incredible odds, they’ll do it. That’s because the challenges this team went through only made them closer. And with players like Carr, Waller, and Maxx Crosby leading the team again in 2022, they continue to have that bond.

Also, the team tasted the playoffs this past season, gaining much-needed postseason experience. Now they know that playoffs games are just another game, not some overwhelming spectacle that’s much different from the regular season. With that experience, Las Vegas should be able to propel themselves to a deep playoff run once they make it to the playoffs.
