The Oakland Raiders loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday was seen as a major setback by both fans as well as analysts as the Silver and Black wasted an opportunity to go 3-1 to start the season at Soldier Field. A dropped winnable game to a winless Bears team thanks to a Robbie Gould field goal quieting much of the talk about the Raiders as a potential dark horse team that could make some noise in the AFC after falling to 2-2 in a game where most expected Oakland to take care of business.
With the loss, the numbers for the Raiders making the playoffs have significantly dropped.
