Through nine weeks of the 2015 regular season, the Oakland Raiders have bounced back from a 3-13 season in 2014 to one of the more surprising teams in the NFL with a second place spot in the AFC West at 4-4.
At an even .500 on the year, it’s safe to say Oakland’s season has had it’s ups and downs. After a blowout loss in Week 1 to the now 8-0 Cincinnati Bengals, the Raiders responded with back-to-back wins against the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.
With hope for a strong season beginning to take shape, Oakland then regressed with two consecutive losses to a then struggling Chicago Bears team and the division-leading Denver Broncos.
