Fresh off a trip to Mexico City, hopefully without drinking the water, the Raiders return to Oakland to face the reigning NFC Champions.
As if facing the reigning Super Bowl champion Broncos twice this season isn’t enough, the Raiders also face the other Super Bowl team from last season, the Panthers, who also had the league’s best record in 2015.
Panthers 2015 numbers
Record: 15-1
Offense rank: 11th
Defense rank: 6th
It’s no coincidence that the Panthers had both the most wins last season, but also scored more points than any other team.
