CINCINNATI — If you squint hard – really, really hard – you’ll find a bright spot in this Raiders season. Maybe even two.
A 30-16 loss to a lackluster Bengals team capped off a rocky week for the silver and black that started with the firing of 2016 NFL Executive of the Year Reggie McKenzie. A lawsuit, lease proposal withdrawal and indefinite suspension followed, and now the Raiders are left with two games, one of which could be the last ever in Oakland next Monday night against the Broncos.
If you missed Sunday’s loss to the Bengals in front of a stadium about 40 percent full, nobody would blame you.
