Through the first 10 weeks of the season, the 6-3 Las Vegas Raiders looked like a legitimate playoff team despite a poor defense. They ranked ninth in offensive DVOA, clocking in at seventh in passing and 12th in running. Jon Gruden's squad was still a clear tier behind the Chiefs (and who isn't?), but they looked plenty good enough to be a problem in the postseason.
Weeks 11 to 14 have painted a much bleaker picture of the 2020 Raiders. The defense has not gotten any better, which ultimately resulted in defensive coordinator Paul Guenther getting fired after last week's loss.
