Las Vegas Raiders Postgame Podcast vs. 49ers

In this story:
LAS VEGAS, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders understand that you can't be a good football team unless you are consistent. That is a fact of life in the game of football.
After a disappointing 2022 campaign, all through the offseason, they have shown life in the quest of General Manager Dave Ziegler and Coach Josh McDaniels, bringing new life to this proud Silver and Black franchise.

This week they welcomed the San Francisco 49ers to town for two joint practices, both of which they were the better team, and today in their first preseason game of the 2023 season, they carried all of that momentum and consistency into a 24-7 victory.
If anything, this offseason, the Raiders are consistent.
