After the Oakland Raiders finally returned home this past Sunday and secured a 31-24 win in a back and forth close game against the Detroit Lions, we are officially halfway through the 2019 NFL season.
The team has had some ups and downs, but coming off of an awful four-win season last year, the team has already matched that total with still eight games to go and is clearly a lot more talented than they were a year ago.
On top of that, the first draft class in the Jon Gruden/Mike Mayock era has so far performed admirably and already seems like the best class the team has had since their impressive 2014 draft class.
