The glow from the 3-0 start for the Las Vegas Raiders has been extinguished in rapid fashion following a rough seven-day stretch.
Back-to-back double-digit losses surrounding the release of an email with racist comments from coach Jon Gruden have turned a promising season into a troubling one after the Raiders lost 20-9 on Sunday to the Chicago Bears.
“Right now we’re finding our identity and we haven’t found it yet” Gruden said Monday.
The Raiders appeared headed in the right direction after opening the season with wins over Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Miami with two coming in overtime after they overcame 14-point deficits.
