Las Vegas Raiders Won Six Games on the Road This Season
The Raiders finished their 2020 campaign with an 8-8 record.
Halfway through the season, the Las Vegas Raiders were in the hunt for the playoffs. But losses to the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers and Atlanta Falcons contributed to the Silver and Black falling short of the post-season.
“We obviously are sick that it’s over,” Head coach Jon Gruden said on Sunday. “We didn’t expect to lose that game last week. We felt we had a chance to beat the Chargers. We had the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football late in the game. We gotta learn from these things. We gotta improve our fourth quarter pass rush. We’ll get into all the things we need to do later.
“But one thing this team knows what to do is they will compete. They won six games on the road. I think it’s have very uncommon for teams in Raider history for teams to go on the road and win six times, so there’s a lot to be positive about.”
The last time the Raiders won six games on the road was in 2016 when the Silver and Black clinched a wild card spot in the playoffs.
Evidently, that’s where the Raiders should have been had the team fixed its mistakes.
The commonality in the last few games of the season quickly shows what the Raiders need to work on.
While away games this season were different with limited or no crowd attendance, it’s still a different venue, a different atmosphere and somewhere the team doesn’t consider home.
The fact of the matter is, the Raiders won six games on the road. It’s not the traveling or venue that’s the issue. Rather, Las Vegas making critical mistakes on the field is the issue.
