GLENDALE, Ariz. -- We’ve hit that point in this season where fans start to question the merits of a win over a loss.
The No. 1 overall draft pick is in play for the 1-8 Raiders. In fact, they’re in pole position to get it, with the two-win New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers just behind. A winning streak would hurt Oakland's draft position, something the players don’t care one bit about right now.
The Raiders still are striving to win games, and that’s a goal realistically reached Sunday against the Cardinals.
