After being outscored 74-12 over the last two games, the Raiders have come crashing back to Earth. They’re now 6-6, and their record is indicative of who they are in 2019 — an average team.
With a 6-4 record, things seemed chipper around the organization. Playoffs were a legitimately obtainable goal and young players looking well ahead of schedule had much to do with it. But Oakland hasn’t looked quite so average over the past two games. Far from it, in fact. Between the Raiders opening drive field goal against the Jets and their garbage time points at Arrowhead, they were outscored 65-0.
