A wise man once said: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." That quote accurately depicts the Oakland Raiders' postseason situation, as they head into Week 17 of the NFL season actually alive in the AFC Playoff race.
Before last week, the Silver and Black's playoff chances looked bleak and nonexistent. A handful of games needed to go in their favor and by some sort of holiday miracle, every single contest went the Raiders way. This week, the organization needs some of that luck to continue, but none of that matters if the team can't take care of business against the Denver Broncos.
