This was far from where the Las Vegas Raiders expected to be in the season, but they are here now.
On Sunday, the Raiders face off with the New York Giants at Allegiant Stadium in a game with serious draft implications.
The Raiders and Giants have been locked into seasons of futility, and the history this matchup makes confirms that. It is the first time in NFL history that two teams on nine-game losing streaks are facing off, and the first time in 44 years that the teams with the two worst records in the league are squaring off in the final two weeks of the season.
