The Las Vegas Raiders had an uphill battle on the docket in Week 16 as they traveled to NRG Stadium to take on the 9-5 Houston Texans. Against the league's best defense, and based on how things have been going lately, Raider Nation wasn't confident in the team's chances to keep things close.
Las Vegas did drop its ninth straight game on Sunday, and its 12th in the last 13 weeks. But for the first time since Week 10, the Raiders actually kept things close. In fact, for most of the fan base that is begging to stay atop the draft order, it was too close for comfort.
