The Las Vegas Raiders surprised some folks in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season when they went on the road and beat the New England Patriots, who are now 5-2. A four-game losing streak ensued, however, with a 40-6 loss against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5 being the low point.
After this brutal beatdown, the Raiders plummeted as low as No. 32 in some power rankings, meaning that many thought they were the worst team in the NFL. A fairly convincing, but not dominant, win against the hapless Tennessee Titans in Week 6 saw them make a minor jump back up the rankings.
