At 2-5, the Las Vegas Raiders are a longshot to make the NFL playoffs. After nine seasons, is it finally time to move on from Derek Carr?

After a big win at home against the Houston Texans, it appeared the Raiders had life. At 2-4, they certainly had work to do but it appeared they had found their identity. Josh Jacobs was unstoppable with the ball in his hands while Derek Carr and the receivers were complimenting him perfectly.

With a top-five offense in the league, they would head to New Orleans to face a struggling Saints team. Missing many starters on both offense and defense, this had all the makings of another game to help the Raiders claw their way back up the win column.

In an AFC that has been up and down all season long, the Raiders could use this soft spot in their schedule to finally do some damage, and the expectation was they would certainly be able to take care of the Saints. New Orleans was without stars like Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, and Marshon Lattimore, so the stage was set for their second straight victory.

However, the game quickly turned into anything but for the Silver and Black.
