The Las Vegas Raiders' offense has not exactly met expectations thus far through three weeks of the 2025 NFL season. Part of the issue has certainly been star tight end Brock Bowers being hampered by a knee injury he sustained in Week 1 against the New England Patriots.
Backup tight end Michael Mayer, a stud in his own right, was expected to fill these very big shoes, or at least be able to take the pressure off Bowers with a potentially limited snap count, considering he has been hobbled. But the offensive line has ultimately derailed the offense's progress at every turn.
