ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders' schedule is the fourth-toughest in the NFL, in terms of opponents’ winning percentage from last year.
It also follows the same basic blueprint from 2016 -- three of four on the road to start out the season, a week in Florida between East Coast games, a “home” game in Mexico City, and three of four on the road to close things out.
So now that the Raiders are 2-0 for the first time since 2002 and have a nationally-televised game in prime time this Sunday at Washington, does coach Jack Del Rio have to reinforce anything with a game at AFC West rival Denver the following week?
