The Oakland Raiders are coming off an exhilarating 26-24 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night and riding a wave of momentum into Week 11.
Not only was that game a huge divisional win that could have helped their standing in the AFC West, but it pushed them one step closer to playoff contention for the first time since the 2016 season.
In essence, 5-4 is a heck of a lot better than 4-5.
Unfortunately, the Raiders suffered a couple of key injuries on the final drive of the game to defensive backs Karl Joseph and Lamarcus Joyner.
