Unless the Las Vegas Raiders have a dramatic turnaround, the first season under Josh McDaniels is going to be remembered for the historic meltdowns the team has delivered.
Through eight games, they have already matched the NFL record for blowing leads of 17 points or more. The 2-6 Raiders have done it three times. In Week 2, they lost to Arizona after leading 20-0 at halftime. In Week 5, they lost at Kansas City after jumping out to a 17-0 lead and on Sunday, they lost at Jacksonville after leading 17-0.
It’s embarrassing and confusing.
