B/R Experts Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

Week 7 Result: Lost vs. Kansas City Chiefs 31-0

The Raiders are getting worse as the season progresses. Forget the team’s Week 6 win against the Tennessee Titans, who already fired their head coach. Against legitimate competition in recent weeks, the Raiders lost to the Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs by a combined score of 71-6.  Sunday’s performance is particularly concerning since Las Vegas couldn’t even manage 100 offensive yards.

Granted, Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers weren’t available due to injury. Even so, the Raiders should be able to manage more than they did with quarterback Geno Smith, running back Ashton Jeanty, wide receiver Tre Tucker and tight end Michael Mayer still in the lineup. Instead, they managed next to nothing. — Sobleski
