The Las Vegas Raiders have been far from a good football team during the 2025 NFL season. The offense has coughed the ball up far too often, the defense has been too inconsistent, and the special teams unit has already endured enough blunders for an entire year.
While some bumps in the road were expected for the offense as they learned under Chip Kelly and the defense as Pete Carroll and Patrick Graham melded their two styles and philosophies together, Tom McMahon and his special teams crew had no built-in excuses.
Still, they were an active detriment through the first five weeks of the year, and some of their poor performances really flipped games on their head.
