The Oakland Raiders dropped a pivotal game to division rival Kansas City on Sunday. It’s a loss that drops them to 6-7 on the year, and very likely, eliminates them from the postseason chase.
Unless the Raiders get a big time Christmas miracle, it’s time to start making other offseason plans.
It would have been nice and probably somewhat satisfying for Raiders fans everywhere had Downing gotten some variation of the treatment USC gave Lane Kiffin, when they fired him on the tarmac at the airport.
It would have, at least, given Raiders fans at least something to smile about on a dismal Monday if he’d been left there to find his own way home.
