After the Las Vegas Raiders fell to 0-3, first-year coach Josh McDaniels talked to both the media and to his team about learning how to win.
Yes, the Raiders were coming off a 10-7 playoff season. But McDaniels’ point was, every year is a different experience and learning to win is something every squad must achieve. In their first three games, the Raiders just didn’t do enough to win. There were several issues, including not knowing how to finish games. All of the Raiders defeats have been close, but they didn’t finish. That was a major issue at home in Week 2 when the Raiders turned a 20-0 halftime lead into a 29-23 overtime defeat to the Arizona Cardinals.
