The Oakland Raiders do not deserve to be in the playoffs. They do not deserve to win their division. They don’t even deserve a Wild Card playoff spot in this awful year in which only 11 of 32 teams have winning records. Not after giving away Week 13’s game to the Kansas City Chiefs.
While there was some good to acknowledge against the Chiefs, there was much more bad and ugly left on the field by the Silver and Black. On the plus side, the Raiders defense played mostly strongly over the course of the game. The box score might indicate otherwise at a first glance, but many of the stats support Oakland’s defensive performance as being solid.
