The Las Vegas Raiders' 2025 NFL season has become a bit cyclic. The team takes on an opponent, gets blown out in a relatively uneventful fashion, and then makes no significant adjustments for the following week. Rinse and repeat.
In Week 15, however, things were a bit different for the Silver and Black. They still got pummeled, losing 31-0 to the Philadelphia Eagles to mark their eighth straight loss. But this brutal defeat was actually more of a win for the franchise, long-term, based on what transpired.
Not only did the team not screw up its draft position, but they learned a ton about themselves.
