After the Raiders big win over Denver, it begs this question: How far can they go?

That feeling hadn’t been with the Raiders in a long time, so even a 7-9 season with promising young players was enough to get fans excited.
The amount of buzz surrounding the Raiders went up a notch in the offseason after they spent a lot of money on free agents to pair with their rising stars.
