It’s an NFC West battle between two 5-8 teams that have suffered turnover and injuries. The Raiders fired Josh McDaniel earlier this season, and Antonio Pierce assumed the role as head coach.
The Raiders are 2-3 since McDaniel’s firing, and they’re coming off a nail-biting 3-0 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. Rumors suggest the Raiders may turn back to Jimmy Garoppolo over Aidan O’Connell.
The lost 24-7 at home against the Denver Broncos in Week 14. An even bigger loss was suffered by Los Angeles; quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a finger injury that required surgery and is out indefinitely.
