Las Vegas Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders entered Sunday 2-11 and were one of the worst teams in the NFL. They control their own destiny in terms of landing the first overall pick, and it'd be better for this team in the long term if they were to lose every game from here on out this season.

They were on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15, in a week where there's finally a quarterback change for the Raiders. Geno Smith was out with an injury, which meant it was Kenny Pickett's time in the 31-0 loss.

Raider Nation Reacts

The game began with the Raiders on defense, and the Eagles jumping out to an opening score drive. Eric Stoke's defense on AJ Brown was going to be crucial for them pulling off this upset win, but it won't be possible if he commits a 20-yard penalty on the opening drive of the game.

Pickett checked in for his opening drive against his former team, and the excitement in Raider Nation was palpable. He had a good drive leading them downhill, with him attempting multiple intermediate throws, but he took two back-breaking sacks in the red zone, which resulted in them turning the ball over on downs.

On the Eagles' next drive, they were able to kick a field goal. Going up two scores on the Raiders in 2025 almost ensures the win, but Pickett had a chance to respond and keep the game close. He couldn't get anything going, and it led to back-to-back punts to close out the half.

To open the second half, the Raiders started with the ball on offense, and they did the one thing they couldn't do. Pickett forced a throw to Brock Bowers, and it went straight into a defender's chest. The Raiders' grace for their younger quarterback has already expired.

After throwing that interception, Pickett could never get a rhythm going in the passing game. Their drives stalled out and always resulted in punts. The Eagles just continued ballooning their lead with points until Nick Sirianni decided to pull Jalen Hurts from the game.

Raider Nation cannot stand another scoreless performance, and they are fed up with the Raiders' coaching staff. This fanbase is restless, and it's clear that change is needed in this organization.

The Raiders lost to the Eagles, dropping them to 2-12. They kept the pace for the first overall pick, but the manner in which they lost was so uninspiring. Pete Carroll is clearly the problem, and they need to fix it.
