The Oakland Raiders are on an upswing and are finally looking to make a run to the top of the NFC West for their first postseason appearance since they lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII. That was over 13 years ago, and since that point the team has been the laughing stock of the league.
Oakland finally has their franchise quarterback and they’re building a talented roster around him. Despite a 7-9 finish in 2015, it’s clear Derek Carr is leading them in the right direction.
