Raiders' Chip Kelly turned down the heat on his hot seat with best game yet

The Las Vegas Raiders had high hopes for their offense entering the 2025 NFL season. The unit has significantly underperformed, which was a major cause for their 2-5 start. They entered Week 9 averaging just 14.7 points per game, the second-lowest mark in the entire NFL.

There have been several contributing factors to the slow start on offense. Brock Bowers' Week 1 injury was a major setback, Geno Smith's struggles have played a key role, and poor play-calling from offensive coordinator Chip Kelly was the final nail in the coffin for this unit.

However, even though the Raiders fell to 2-6 after losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, they had their best offensive performance of the year.
