Raiders place two key players on IR in what feels like an obvious tank move

It has been said by everyone in the Las Vegas Raiders' building that the team doesn't have anything to play for but pride at this point in the 2025 NFL season. That doesn't mean that they're throwing in the towel, however, as both Pete Carroll and Maxx Crosby assured fans that they were trying to win.

Winning, however, would all put put the Raiders out of the running for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. That has been the fan base's focus practically since October, but again, these games are a player and coach's résumé, so they won't be out there on the field trying to lose.
