Since going 12-4 with the seventh-ranked scoring offense in 2016, the Raiders have struggled on both sides of the ball and have yet to get above .500 under Jon Gruden. They hope that changes in 2020 and while improvement on the defense could be the difference in playoffs or no playoffs, the offense seems to have all the makeup of a team that could be the best within their own division.
If only that division wasn’t the AFC West.
Were they in the AFC South or AFC East, for example, the Las Vegas Raiders might be considered the most potent offense within the division and arguably favorites to win it.
