There aren’t many teams that can say they began and ended the 2025 season with wins, but the 3-14 Las Vegas Raiders managed to pull that off by taking down the Kansas City Chiefs 14-12 in Week 18. It was the Raiders’ first victory in nearly three months and in the division over the last two years. Also, Las Vegas managed to maintain the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

That gave Raider Nation plenty to cheer about on Sunday, leading to a more positive winners and losers column.

WINNER: Tyree Wilson

I was hard on...

The Las Vegas Raiders won just their third game the entire season, and 1st in nearly 2.5 months on Sunday in a wild 14-12 victory over the Chiefs where the only Raiders player to reach the endzone was Tyree Wilson on a safety sack.

The Raiders have seen ups and downs from their rookie class over the last season and notably a lack of playtime till recently. On offense, rookie Ashton Jeanty broke the Raiders rookie all purpose record crossing a 1320 mark this season and he also tied the NFL record for TD receptions by a rookie runningback with...

The Las Raiders have started to request interviews for the coaching opening left by the firing of Pete Carroll. ESPN reported that they will interview Vance Joseph this week.

Let’s get to know Joseph some more:

Current job:

He is the Denver Broncos defensive coordinator since 2023.

Age:

He will be 53.

Coaching experience:

He was Denver’s head coach from 2017-18 and has been an NFL coach for 21 seasons. He was 11-21 as a head coach,

Other interest:

During the weekend, there were reports that longtime star quarterback Philip Rivers could get head-coaching interviews.

Monday, Rivers told reporters, he is open to coaching in the NFL and he is confident in term of his knowledge of the game and his leadership skills that he could be an effective.

Are you listening, Tom Brady?

Brady and Raiders general manager John Spytek, who are leading the interview process to replace the fired Pete Carroll, should give Rivers a look in the process.

Rivers, 44, would be risky because he doesn’t have any coaching experience. But he’s extremely smart and he...

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders 2025 rookie class fared Sunday in a 14-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Ashton Jeanty:

A week after one of his best games on the ground, the No. 6 overall pick struggled to produce again. Jeanty had 60 yards on 16 carries. A garbage-time 24-yard run help bolster his poor numbers. Jeanty averaged 3.8 yards a carry and has averaged more than four yards a carry in just three games. He had two catches and had has three total in the past two games after having, at...

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson didn’t have a great 2025 season.

He had some rough misses, but he ended the season Sunday by reaching an impressive team milestone. With a field goal in the second quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs, Carlson surpassed the 900-career point mark as a member of the Raiders’ franchise.

Carlson joined the Raiders in 2018, his rook1ie season after he was cut by the Minnesota Vikings, who drafted him in the fifth round.

He is the second highest points scorer in team history. He trails the great Sebastian Janikowski. He tallied 1,7999 points spanning...

Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek met with the media on Monday after firing coach Pete Carroll after just one season. Here are some highlights:

Spytek, who was hired just days before Carroll, took responsibility for the team’s 3-14 record and said that accountability begins and ends with him. “I bear a ton of responsibility.”

He said the team wants to build the right way and knows it has a “big mountain” to climb. He noted a turnaround will not happen overnight. Yet, with the No. 1 overall draft pick and the second most salary-cap room, Spytek’s knows the...

The Las Vegas Raiders officially made Pete Carroll a one-and-done head coach by firing Carroll on “Black Monday”. That adds to the list of failed head coaches in Las Vegas, as the next man in charge will be the organization’s sixth (including interims) since moving to the city in 2020. So, where does Carroll’s tenure rank among Jon Gruden’s, Rich Bisaccia’s, Josh McDaniels’ and Antonio Pierce’s?

The list below is in descending order from least to most successful.

5. Josh McDaniels

Record: 9-16 (.360)

While McDaniels had a higher winning percentage than Pierce and Carroll, a figure as low...

Monday, when announcing that the team has fired Pete Carroll as head coach after one season, the Las Vegas made it clear general manager, John Spytek, and team part owner Tom Brady will lead the hiring process.

Brady, of course, was heavily involved in hiring Carroll last year. Brady and the Raiders turned to Carroll after potential pursuits of Ben J0hnson and Mike Vrabel didn’t pan put.

So, Brady is back at it this year.

Are you confidence Brady can get it right this time around?

Are you looking at the Carroll hire as a one off and nothing to...

The Raiders made the decision to move on from Pete Carroll after an extremely disappointing 2025 season that will go down as one of the Raiders worst seasons in history, and one of the worst single seasons for an NFL franchise. The Raiders have back to back one and done head coaches and have to nail their hire going into 2026. Las Vegas holds 10 draft picks, and likely will acquire more along with the 2nd most cap space in the NFL and a track to grab their franchise quarterback. Frustrations surround Maxx Crosby, but like most things in the...

The Las Vegas Raiders fired coach Pete Carroll after just one season on Monday. Here are some early thoughts on the move:

It had to happen:

During the offseason, the idea of Carroll going one and done in Las Vegas seemed unfathomable. Yet, as the season unfolded, it also appeared unfathomable for Carroll to come back. His tenure was a complete mess. And it wouldn’t make any sense for the Raiders to bring him back. So, this move had to be made even if it is just another change. This will be the team’s fourth coaching search since 2022. That’s...
