Las Vegas plays host to Broncos in division matchup; little margin for error pick-wise

The Las Vegas Raiders are back home and are gearing for a Week 12 division contest with the incoming Denver Broncos.

Raiders are scary thin at some spots in Week 12

The Las Vegas Raiders have been dealing with injuries all season and the challenges are continuing.

Will this be the year?

Former Raiders stars, guard Steve Wisniewski and defensive back Eric Allen have both taken the next step to Canton, Ohio.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Wednesday morning that both Wisniewski and Allen are among 25 modern-day semifinalists to be elected into the museum in February. The list will be cut down to 15 finalists next month and the 2025 Hall of Fame class will be announced in February,

The inclusion of Wisniewski is a surprise. He was last a semifinalist in 2014, so this momentum toward election wasn’t expected. It is not a...

Record-setting tight end one of the true bright spots as Las Vegas inhabits bottom of several rankings

Brock to the Future. That’s the best way to sum up the national power rankings that feature the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Raiders overall, however, are not getting much love....

Bowers sets the records for the most receptions through week 11 with 70 on the season
