Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo made his triumphant return to the Las Vegas Raiders lineup, yet the franchise is likely worse off today despite the team's 17-13 home victory against the Green Bay Packers on Monday.
At 2-3, the Raiders still sit behind the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC West. More importantly, the organization falls further away from a legitimate opportunity to make a real difference by eventually drafting a real difference-maker at the game's most important position.
The Raiders are more mid than flying economy to visit the Vegas strip for a weekend.
