Raiders' second Jon Gruden era started with drama, ends with questions

The Oakland Raiders ended the season a with a 35-3 loss at the Kansas City Chiefs to finish the season at 4-12. Here's a recap of the season and what's next:

Season grade: Below average. Didn't the Raiders simply need a good roster-scrubbing and better coaching to finish more like 12-4 (which they did in 2016) after the 6-10 nosedive of 2017? Instead, coach Jon Gruden, in his first year back with the Raiders, went about rebuilding the roster with owner Mark Davis' blessing, and general manager Reggie McKenzie paid for it with his job.
