The Las Vegas Raiders got flat-out embarrassed by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 11. Losing is one thing, and Raider Nation is sadly used to that. But getting dismantled for the fifth time in a 10-game stretch is more than any fan base should be accustomed to.
However, most fans realize that, at this juncture, it is pointless to scrape together a few wins at the end of what is already a lost campaign, as this would jeopardize their draft position. Competitive losses like the ones the Raiders suffered in Weeks 9 and 10 were right in the sweet spot.
