The Las Vegas Raiders hired Pete Carroll with the expectation that the veteran head coach would change the culture of the franchise, which has been among the worst in the NFL for over 20 years. That has not been the case, as the dysfunction and losing have both continued amid their 2-5 start.
One of the few bright spots for Las Vegas has been rookie running back Ashton Jeanty. Despite playing behind an awful offensive line, he has shown flashes of greatness and is on pace for nearly 1,300 yards from scrimmage and 12 total touchdowns.
After the worst game of his career in Week 7, where he had just seven total touches in the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Jeanty noted that the franchise has had a losing culture for a long time.
