For the Las Vegas Raiders, the good news is there is nowhere left to go but up.
On Sunday, the Raiders play their final road game of the year when they face the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.
The Raiders have lost eight straight games heading into this matchup, including arguably their most embarrassing loss of the season last week against the Philadelphia Eagles. Meanwhile, the Texans have taken control of the AFC South with a six-game winning streak. That does not make for the best optics for the Silver and Black, and fans might be preparing (or hoping, in tanking circles) for another blowout.
