The Oakland Raiders play their first of two straight homes games to kick off the 2019 season on Monday night, as they welcome in division rival Denver. Last season, the Raiders won their final home game of the regular season against the Broncos, and they will look to make it two in a row in the second game of ESPN’s Monday Night Football doubleheader.
This has been an exciting offseason for the Raiders, who brought in a first-time general manager in Mike Mayock. Through his first nine months on the job, Mayock has proven that he has what it takes to be a fantastic general manager in the NFL, and has worked perfectly with Raiders head coach Jon Gruden.
