The Las Vegas Raiders are suffering an embarrassing blowout at the hands of the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5. One of the biggest issues has been quarterback Geno Smith continuing to throw interceptions. Entering the fourth quarter, Smith had thrown two interceptions in the shocking 40-3 beatdown. That put him up to nine on the […]

It’s been a rough few weeks for the Las Vegas Raiders, who had lost three games in a row heading into Sunday afternoon’s road matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The Raiders got off to a strong start to this season by knocking off the New England Patriots on the road, but things have gone downhill […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are showing some encouraging trends, under new head coach Pete Carroll. Las Vegas has now scored on the opening drive of each of their first three road games this season. That is the first time that has happened since 2008, per the team. Las Vegas accomplished the feat with a 16-play […]

Four games into the 2025 NFL season, the rookie class has already sorted into tiers, and the Offensive Rookie of the Year race has taken early shape. At this point, voters prize two things above all else: consistent opportunity and production in high-leverage moments. That means red-zone looks, third-down conversions, and splash plays that swing […]

Brock Bowers is resisting the recommended rest for a PCL sprain and bone bruise in his knee, and he is now considered unlikely to play today against the Colts despite late‑week optimism from coach Pete Carroll, per multiple reports. The situation shows how the injury has lingered and how the Las Vegas Raiders are currently […]

FOX Sports was hoping to devote all its attention to its college football coverage, but Saturday has taken several unexpected turns and left the company plenty to sort out.

The Las Vegas Raiders are entering Week 5 shorthanded at tight end. Brock Bowers, who’s been battling a knee injury since Week 1, missed Thursday’s practice after being limited the day before, and his status has grown increasingly uncertain. According to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, the Raiders’ star tight end is trending toward not […]

The Houston Texans are beefing up their secondary ahead of their Week 5 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. And one cornerback name that they are elevating from the practice squad will be familiar, especially to Las Vegas Raiders fans. “The Texans elevated CB Damon Arnette and S Jalen Mills from the practice squad for Sunday’s […]

The New York Giants (1-3) have been fairly inconsistent in all phases of the game through the first month of the 2025-26 NFL campaign, but outside linebacker Brian Burns has been a constant force of nature for Big Blue. He has five sacks, which are tied with Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Byron Young for […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are quickly spiraling into a bad spot this season. Despite their retooling this offseason, Las Vegas is still 1-3 to start the season. It’s a disappointing start to the Geno Smith and Pete Carroll era in Las Vegas, as they have struggled to find their footing in the AFC West. It […]

The NFL is preparing to pursue a “last resort” option in its ongoing legal battle with former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden, according to a report from ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. On Thursday, the Nevada Supreme Court unanimously rejected the league’s petition for a rehearing of an earlier ruling that sided with Gruden. […]

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers did not practice Thursday, Adam Schefter reported, after being a limited participant Wednesday with a knee issue ahead of Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Las Vegas got off to a great start to their 2025-2026 season, defeating the New England Patriots on the road. Since then, the Raiders have lost three straight and looked mostly lost on offense. They will look to snap that three-game skid this week, as they travel to Indianapolis to face the 3-1 Colts. […]

We are officially past the quarter poll of the fantasy football season. With four weeks under our belt, some teams are likely beginning to separate themselves from the pack. While the vast amount of injuries across the NFL has probably crushed others. Week 4 alone saw fantasy football first-round pick Malik Nabers suffer a torn […]

The misery continued in Sin City as the Las Vegas Raiders lost a heartbreaker to the Chicago Bears, putting them at 1-3. Likewise, the Colts stumbled against the Los Angeles Rams, losing for the first time this season. These teams square off this weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Most Week 5 bold […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are still reeling after their last-second blocked field goal loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 4. But now, Las Vegas’ pain has gotten even sharper.

Recently, the Las Vegas Raiders dropped to 1-3 on the young 2025 season with a home loss to the Chicago Bears in a game that went right down to the wire. Ultimately, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was able to author a drive late in the fourth quarter that gave the Bears a victory, but it […]

The Las Vegas Raiders continue to find new ways to frustrate their fanbase. What could have been a much-needed bounce-back win turned into another demoralizing defeat. This time, it came at the hands of the Chicago Bears. Las Vegas had a dominant rushing performance that should have sealed the game. The Raiders, though, gave the […]

When the Las Vegas Raiders hired Pete Carroll as their 23rd head coach in franchise history, it drew mixed reactions from around the NFL. One of the most successful head coaches in Seattle Seahawks history, Carroll was relieved of his duties in early 2024 after his teams gradually lost their effectiveness in the post-Legion of […]

The Geno Smith experiment with the Las Vegas Raiders sparked growing critics. Smith has looked nothing like the Pro Bowl quarterback under Pete Carroll. He’s lost the football multiple times during the 1-3 start. Smith is aware of the brutal interceptions he’s thrown. Carroll, however, fired off a “not worried” message Monday with reporters representing the […]

It turned out to be a tough loss for the Las Vegas Raiders, despite a terrific day from rookie Ashton Jeanty. And Pete Carroll had a three-word reaction to Jeanty bringing back an iconic stance, according to a post on X by Vincent Bonsignore. “.@Raiders coach Pete Carroll on Ashton Jeanty going back to his […]

The Las Vegas Raiders believed they had their cornerstone left tackle secured long-term when Kolton Miller signed a three-year, $66 million extension in July. After seven consistent seasons, he had become one of the league’s most reliable offensive linemen, allowing pressures at one of the lowest rates in the NFL while staying on the field […]

The Las Vegas Raiders hoped rookie running back Ashton Jeanty would be the offensive spark that lifted them in 2025, but the results have been uneven. Former Raiders great Maurice Jones-Drew even argued that Jeanty’s slow start isn’t entirely his fault, pointing instead to the lack of a true No. 1 receiver. With defenses keying […]

The Las Vegas Raiders left Allegiant Stadium with more questions than answers after their 25-24 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 4. Quarterback Geno Smith threw three costly interceptions, and while head coach Pete Carroll reiterated that the veteran remains the starter over Kenny Pickett, the red flags are piling up. Smith finished 14-of-21 […]

The Las Vegas Raiders’ defense came out swinging against the Chicago Bears, and Maxx Crosby stole the spotlight early. The star pass rusher recorded his first career interception in highlight-reel fashion, batting down a Caleb Williams pass at the line before hauling it in himself. Crosby then rumbled upfield to set up a short touchdown […]

The Chicago Bears earned their second win of the season yesterday, and while many are crediting Josh Blackwell, who blocked the Las Vegas Raiders’ potential game-winning field goal, there is someone else to credit for helping Blackwell block the kick: Scott Daly. With 38 seconds left in the game and down 25-24, Raiders kicker Daniel […]

The Las Vegas Raiders suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of the Chicago Bears via a last-minute blocked field goal. However, perhaps what was more stunning was how close the game was despite quarterback Geno Smith’s performance. In the 25-24 loss, Smith completed 14-of-21 passes for 117 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. His […]

The Las Vegas Raiders’ defense is putting up a fight against the Chicago Bears as they own a 7-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. Edge rusher Maxx Crosby has been a wrecking machine on Sunday as well, as he somehow managed to record an immaculate interception. Crosby, who is 28 years old, […]

The Las Vegas Raiders left FedEx Field last week with more than just a 41-24 loss to the Washington Commanders. Rookie RB Ashton Jeanty’s stat line sparked concern, as he was repeatedly hit behind the line of scrimmage. According to ESPN’s Ryan McFadden, Jeanty was contacted at or before the line on 11 of his […]

Even when he’s not a player anymore, Tom Brady can’t help but find himself being scrutinized. Now a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, Brady is being called out for a supposed conflict of interest. The former star quarterback is part of FOX’s commentary crew, which theoretically could allow him to get insider info […]

Both the Raiders and Bears could really use a win in Week 4. So something’s got to give. They may have the same record, but both teams are coming into this game in wildly different situations. Las Vegas got a big win in Week 1, but has since gone on a two-game losing streak. That […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have not had a great start to the 2025 season. Las Vegas is 1-2 heading into Week 4 after plenty of offseason hype surrounding Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders are reportedly trying to upgrade their o-line in an effort to help their rookie superstar. But one former NFL running back thinks there’s […]

Tom Brady has had enough of the noise surrounding his dual roles in football. The NFL legend fired back at critics questioning whether his minority ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders creates a conflict of interest with his job as Fox’s lead NFL analyst. In his latest newsletter, Brady didn’t mince words, saying those […]

While Week 3’s 41-24 loss to the Washington Commanders wasn’t the worst loss that the Las Vegas Raiders have ever had, it was worrying for a few different reasons. Most notable was a disappointing running game, as rookie Ashton Jeanty only averaged 3.7 yards per carry on Sunday afternoon. A big reason for this? Jeanty […]

Although Ashton Jeanty was a juggernaut in college, the Las Vegas Raiders riskily used the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on a running back when they knew (or should have known) that their offensive line was a big question mark heading into the new season. Their blueprint has yet to pay […]

Not only did the Las Vegas Raiders remain in the AFC West basement, but they also had a scary injury situation. And head coach Pete Carroll credited the Commanders for the Week 3 blowout, according to a post on X by Anthony Galaviz. #Raiders HC Pete Carroll: “(Dan Quinn) got those guys ready to go. […]

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby didn’t hide his disappointment Sunday after Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey was left wide open for a touchdown late, and cameras caught Crosby shaking his head in frustration. Crosby looked visibly upset as the cameras caught him mouthing, “he was wide open,” after the TD as he […]

The Las Vegas Raiders entered Week 3 seeking a statement win and instead walked off the field humiliated. Facing a Washington Commanders team without its starting quarterback or featured running back, the Raiders delivered their worst performance of the young season. It was a collapse that revealed systemic flaws across coaching, execution, and discipline. For […]

The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t just lose to the Washington Commanders in Week 3 — they unraveled. The 41-24 defeat exposed flaws in all three phases, and head coach Pete Carroll made it clear afterward that the failure starts with him. “It looked like we were off,” Carroll said postgame. “It’s not scheme-wise. Just physically, […]
