Jakobi Meyers, Jacksonville Jaguars one step closer to clinching AFC South

Jakobi Meyers, Jacksonville Jaguars one step closer to clinching AFC South

With the Las Vegas Raiders getting a much-needed loss against the New York Giants on Sunday, let’s check in and see how Week 17 treated a few old friends: Jakobi Meyers, Josh Jacobs and Denico Autry.

Jakobi Meyers

  • Game result: 23-17, Jaguars win
  • Stats: 6 catches, 39 yards

This was a rather quiet performance from Meyers, who signed a three-year, $60 million contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars a couple of weeks ago. However, it was a significant come-from-behind win for the Jags, clinching a playoff berth and entering Week 18 with a chance to win the...

John Spytek is Las Vegas Raiders’ biggest winner after loss to New York Giants

John Spytek is Las Vegas Raiders’ biggest winner after loss to New York Giants

Mission accomplished for the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17.

Between putting their best players on injured reserve leading up to the game against the New York Giants and what they showed on the field, it seems pretty clear that the Raiders were more than happy to lose on Sunday. Las Vegas’ tank isn’t quite complete, but the organization took a significant step toward securing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, leading us into this week’s winners and losers.

WINNER: John Spytek

There’s no question that Spytek’s first year as a general manager has been...

Geno Smith unlikely to play Sunday

Geno Smith unlikely to play Sunday

The Las Vegas Raiders did get some good injury news on starting quarterback Geno Smith but it may not matter.

A day after Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll said Smith suffered a high-ankle sprain, the coach said it’s not a high-ankle sprain. However, Carroll called it “significant” and said it will be difficult to for Smith to be able to play Sunday’s season finale, against the Kansas City Chiefs. Carroll did say that it may take a couple of days to find out more.

But with the Raiders sitting at 2-14 and poised to get the No. 1 overall draft...

Breaking down Maxx Crosby’s trade market

Breaking down Maxx Crosby’s trade market

Various reports las week indicated the possibility that the Las Vegas Raiders and superstar pass rusher Maxx Crosby could be heading towards a separation this off-season after Crosby was shut down for the remainder of the season leading to frustrations.

Head coach Pete Carrol indicated the plan for Crosby to leave the facility was mutual, though the report can only really come at face value with a lot more likely unfolding behind the scenes. The Raiders signed Crosby to a 3 year, 106.5 million extension back in March of 2025 which tied Crosby to the Raiders until 2030. The now...

Waxed by Giants, No. 1 pick within Las Vegas Raiders’ reach

Waxed by Giants, No. 1 pick within Las Vegas Raiders’ reach

Try as the G-Men might, they just couldn’t out-tank the Silver & Black.

Despite having key pieces inactive to counter the Las Vegas Raiders putting elite tight end Brock Bowers and defensive end Maxx Crosby on injured reserve, the New York Giants derailed the Silver & Black express in a convincing and easy 34-10 victory on Sunday.

But that defeat was no skin of the Raiders’ backs.

The lopsided blowout loss was just one of many in a moribund 2025 campaign under head coach Pete Carroll and trailing 17-3 at halftime was merely the status quo. Additionally, while the visiting...

Geno Smith trending towards out vs Kansas City Chiefs

Geno Smith trending towards out vs Kansas City Chiefs

Following a 34-10 loss to the Giants on Sunday, the Raiders fell to 2-14 and are close to locking up the first overall selection. During their loss to the Giants, Raiders quarterback Geno Smith suffered what head coach Pete Carroll described as a high ankle sprain, which would likely cause Smith to be out vs the Chiefs in week 18 likely ending his Raiders career. Smith completed 20 of 28 attempts for 176 yards, a touchdown, and 2 interceptions vs the Giants bringing his season statline to a 67.6% completion rate, 3025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions. His 17...

Las Vegas Raiders ‘win’ Tank Bowl with loss to New York Giants

When a loss feels like a win.

The only thing on the line between the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants in Week 17 was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. So, while the Raiders were dominated 34-10 by the Giants, Las Vegas is the true winner of the “Tank Bowl” as the club controls its destiny when it comes to the top selection in April. A loss during the season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday will ensure the currently 2-14 club is the first team to draft this spring.

That would...
