Silver Minings: Raiders need to change post-bye week history

In the two games since he has taken over for Jon Gruden as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders (-3)

, interim head coach Rich Bisaccia has pushed all the right buttons as he has led the team to two double-digit victories to improve to 5-2.

Bisaccia’s next on-field challenge is to change a long-running Raiders’ trend: they need to be better after the bye week. According to the Associated Press, the Raiders are just 3-15 in their first game after they bye in the past 18 seasons. That is the worst post-bye record in the NFL over that time period.
