Las Vegas Raiders
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...

The Las Vegas Raiders managed to get their first win in about three months (and are undefeated in 2026) while securing the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL draft. Week 18 was kind to the Raiders, and let’s check in on how it treated a few old friends: Tre’von Moehrig, Jakobi Meyers and K’Lavon Chaissson.
Overall, this was a good performance from Moehrig. He was active with a handful of tackles, came up with a sack and had a TFL against...

It has happened again.
The Las Vegas Raiders have fired another head coach, once again, creating more flux and change for a franchise in an never-ending cycle of organizational turnover.
This time, the franchise has fired head coach Pete Carroll after just one season with the team. He joins Antonio Pierce as Raiders’ head coaches who went one-and-done with the team.
Team owner Mark Davis and his front office will now hire a new full-time head coach for the fourth time since this team 2022.
In some ways, Carroll’s fast exit is stunning. But, the truth is, his one season...

Look, I get it.
A Week 18 preview piece that focused on special teams can be easily dismissed or scoffed at. Especially when “must be on point” is used in the headline.
Yet, Daniel Carlson’s 60-yard go-ahead and eventual game-winning field goal belabors the importance of quality special teams as the Las Vegas Raiders edged the visiting Kansas City Chiefs 14-12. The win snapped a horrendous 10-game losing skid as the Silver & Black finish the 2025 campaign 3-14 overall.
Oh, and the kicker (pun intended): The Raiders own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, victory...

Las Vegas Raiders fans haven’t had much to cheer about this season, but Week 18 finally brought some joy for Raider Nation.
With the New York Giants beating the Dallas Cowboys during the morning slate of games on Sunday, Las Vegas had the No. 1 pick of the 2026 NFL draft locked up before kickoff against the Kansas City Chiefs. Then, the Silver and Black managed to avoid the embarrassment of getting swept in the AFC West for the second year in a row by beating their biggest rivals, 14-12.
Nothing was riding on this game, but the Raiders managed...

Sunday was definitely the best day of the Las Vegas Raiders’ miserable 2025 season.
The day started when the Raiders secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft when the New York Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys in the early window Sunday. It’s the first time the Raiders will pick first in 19 years. The expectation is the Raiders will take Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza will with the pick, but they will also go through the entire draft process over the course of the next 15 weeks.
Then, in a dreadful game that looked much like an August...

The Las Vegas Raiders are hosting the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Here is everything to need to know about the game:
First quarter
The Raiders won the coin toss and deferred to the second half.
Charles Snowden got a sack and forced the Chiefs to go three-and-out. It was the 11th time that happened this season. The Raiders end the season tied with San Francisco for the most in the NFL in that area.
As expected, Kenny Pickett started in place of the injured Geno Smith because he has been the backup all season. But coach Pete Carroll has...

With the New York Giants beating the Dallas Cowboys during Sunday’s early slate in Week 18, the Las Vegas Raiders will have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft regardless of what happens in the season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Below is a look at the entire first round order, via Tankathon. Silver and Black Pride will update as the afternoon games and Sunday Night Football conclude.

Yes, there are some benefits of finishing in last place. The three unassigned opponents are all teams that finished in last place in their respective divisions. Will it help the Raiders next year? Well, it didn’t matter in 2025 when they had a last-place schedule as well.
Maybe net year will be different. The Raiders play nine games on the road and eight at home after having nine games at Allegiant Stadium in the 2025 season.
Here is the Raiders’ 2026 list of opponents. The schedule dates is expected to be released in May....
