The Las Vegas Raiders were one of the worst teams in the league during the 2024 NFL season. One of the benefits of winning so few games is that owner Mark Davis cleaned house, hiring Pete Carroll and John Spytek as the next head coach and general manager.
Another benefit is that the Silver and Black will play a last-place schedule in 2025. This will work to their advantage as they try to fend their way through a loaded AFC for a playoff spot, especially in relation to their AFC West foes.
Las Vegas' journey begins in Week 1 against the New England Patriots, another promising up-and-coming team with a new coach who has a winning pedigree and tons of experience.
