The Las Vegas Raiders entered the 2025 NFL season with high expectations for their offense, and a mere hope that the defense could play well enough to keep them in games. Through the first three weeks, however, the opposite has largely been true.
Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and his unit have been derailed by poor offensive line play, which has simultaneously made life hard on quarterback Geno Smith and provided no benefit for rookie running back Ashton Jeanty.
While those issues are not necessarily going away in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears, their opponent has no shortage of weaknesses on defense.
