Raiders

Mr. Mayock, call on line one. . . .

The Raiders entered their week seven match up against the Tampa Bay Buccanneers missing two key players: Jonathan Abram and Trent Brown, who were placed on the COVID-19 list earlier this week. Their absence, as well as Tampa Bay’s outstanding play, proved too much for the Silver and Black as they fell 45-20 to the Buccaneers.

After a poor showing against the New England Patriots last week, the Las Vegas Raiders looked to bounce back against the 3-0 Buffalo Bills.

Las Vegas used to just be considered the sports betting center of the nation. With worries of fixing games, that halted the professional sports team talk. Until now. The Golden Knights are three years into their franchise, and the Raiders are officially a Las Vegas team. Along with the growth and business of Las Vegas comes benefits for the suburbs, specifically Henderson, that many never really think to consider.

The 2019-2020 NFL season has finally come to a close with the Kansas City Chiefs winning the ultimate prize in American team sports and hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in over 50 years. The Las Vegas Raiders, making its way to the team's new home in Las Vegas, weren't too happy to see one of its rivals lifting the Lombardi Trophy and seeing the 24-year-old Patrick Mahomes take home Super Bowl MVP. The Raiders were slightly ahead of schedule when it comes to their rebuilding when they finished with a 7-9 record and were in the playoff hunt until the last day of the NFL regular season. The Raiders made massive improvements in comparison to the 2018-2019 season when they finished 4-12 in Jon Gruden's first season back as a head coach after a 10 year absence. With them moving into a new state of the art $1.8 billion stadium, expectations will be high for the new Las Vegas Raiders to make the playoffs. These are the 4 positions that the Las Vegas Raiders will be addressing for the upcoming off-season.

The Las Vegas Community has been heavily anticipating the Raiders making the move to Las Vegas. On January 22, 2020, the Raiders Organization made it official at the site of the soon to come, Allegiant Stadium.

After missing a playoff spot for the 2019-2020 season, rumors have been flying around about the decision to trade or draft a new quarterback for the Raiders.

Just weeks ago, the Oakland Raiders were on course to playing in the AFC playoffs for the first time since 2016, however it now seems impossible because of their three-game losing streak.
