Sitting at 6-4 last season, the then-Oakland Raiders looked to be a team destined for the playoffs. After a tough first part of the schedule, one that saw them away from home for nearly two months, the Raiders had some favorable matchups down the stretch, but would go 1-5 to close out another year outside of the postseason.
One major issue for the 2019 team was the fact that they were missing the pieces needed to make the offense go, including a true WR1, as well as the health of their running back. Josh Jacobs had a tremendous rookie season, but had to sit out the final two games of the year, as his fractured shoulder ended up costing him late.
