The Las Vegas Raiders have been through a lot this season. The second season of Josh McDaniels was off to a terrible start. With newly-acquired QB Jimmy Garoppolo, Las Vegas’ offense regressed heavily. They’ve struggled against most of their opponents, and were just 3-5 heading into Week 9. McDaniels was understandably fired, and Garoppolo was […]

It’s safe to say that Davante Adams, Josh Jacobs, and the rest of the Las Vegas Raiders are already enjoying the new atmosphere in the locker room, one that is no longer ruled by Josh McDaniels, who was recently fired from his job as head coach of the team. Just days after McDaniels lost his […]

All is fine in Raiders Nation it seems. Less than a week after Josh McDaniels was handed his walking papers and replaced by Antonio Pierce on an interim basis, the Las Vegas Raiders got down to work and scored a 30-6 win in Week 9 at home at the expense of the lethargic New York […]

It’s a new era for Josh Jacobs and the Las Vegas Raiders — and they passed their first test since the firing of Josh McDaniels. Jacobs definitely loved the way his team played on Sunday against the New York Giants at home less than a week since McDaniels was handed his walking papers and got […]

Winning cures everything, they say. Based on Davante Adams’ words after the Las Vegas Raiders’ 30-6 thumping of the New York Giants, maybe it’s true. Adams, who has expressed frustration with how the Raiders offense has functioned this season, was pleased with Sunday’s performance. That, despite a quiet four-catch, 34-yard day. “It’s about how it […]

After firing Josh McDaniels, the Las Vegas Raiders named Antonio Pierce the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. He made his head coaching debut in Week 9 against the New York Giants.

The New York Jets made a last-ditch effort to trade for Las Vegas Raiders superstar Davante Adams ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, but the Raiders had zero interest in parting with the star wide receiver. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports “the Jets had debated, discussed and planned” for such a bombshell trade move during the summer […]

The old saying goes, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” but that apparently does not apply to the Las Vegas Raiders. Not only is Josh McDaniels not “staying” the Raiders head coach, but now the details of a contentious team meeting prior to McDaniels’ firing are trickling out, proving that not everything that happens […]

After the Las Vegas Raiders lost to the Detroit Lions in Week 8’s Monday Night Football, franchise owner Mark Davis hinted about his desire to make changes on the team.

Raiders owner Mark Davis decided he had seen enough after his team suffered a 26-14 loss to the Detroit Lions in the nationally televised Monday Night football game last week. The Raiders simply could not sustain any kind of consistent offense, and the team was not making any progress this season after finishing 6-11 a […]

This has been a tumultuous week for the Las Vegas Raiders. They were beaten on Monday night by the Detroit Lions, and the game was not as close as the 26-14 score would indicate.

He’s been out of the spotlight for several years, but a former star wide receiver in the National Football League is one step closer to returning to the game.

Who are the Las Vegas Raiders players who should have been traded at the 2023 NFL trade deadline?

Ok, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but for a team that was just hours away from firing head […]

The person who will benefit the most from Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis firing head coach Josh McDaniels ahead of Week 9 might be wide receiver Hunter Renfrow.

It’s a good feeling.’#Raiders,” Galaviz […]

In his first meeting with reporters as interim head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, Antonio Pierce one word repeatedly to describe his philosophy upon taking over the Silver and Black for the remainder of the 2023 season.
