Silver Minings: Time for Las Vegas to pile up victories

When the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Los Angeles Chargers in overtime in Week 18 to advance to the playoffs it clinched the team’s second double-digit victory season in the past 19 seasons.

The Raiders, who won 12 games in 2016, are tied with Washington, Cleveland and Detroit for the fewest seasons with, at least, 10 wins in the past 19 years as illustrated by this tweet by NFL analyst Warren Sharp:
