So what did the Raiders do in Week 13?
They staged another stirring, logic-defying comeback, posted a sixth consecutive win, and at 10-2, the Raiders have won their most games in a season since 2002, when their 11-5 record launched them into Super Bowl XXXVII.
As a result, the Raiders held onto their average ranking of 3.2 in the five polls sampled here (ESPN, Bleacher Report, USA Today, CBS Sports and The Associated Press). California’s other NFL teams are lost in that silver and black dust cloud.
