The Oakland Raiders departed the O.co Coliseum after a dominating win over the New York Jets on Nov. 1 feeling as good as they ever have during the four-season Reggie McKenzie era.
They won their first game over a team with a winning record this season, they improved to 4-3, they were right in the thick of the playoff mix and they were playing well on both sides of the ball. Life was good for the Raiders.
Fast forward to the week before the final game of November and things have changed dramatically for the Raiders.
