Officially out 4-6 weeks with broken thumb. (At least the bye week won't be a loss)

So, likely return is road game in KC or vs TB.

 

[VEGASKING]

In the 5 game stretch of winnable games they just completed they went 1-4 and got outscored 138-88.


At home to the undefeated Chiefs. This is one of those games they win out of nowhere isn't it. Or lose 30-10.

Their season depended on the stretch following their 2 game road trip to LA and Bal. To have come back 1-1 from that they had a shot to realistically beat Car, Cle, Den and aim to split Pitt and Rams. Get to the bye with a winning record at 5-4 or better if they could split KC and Cin. Instead they got beat by Carolina and lose close games vs Pitt and Rams because their offense turned the ball over with 2 fumbles by RB and Minschews picks and fumble vs Rams. Both games turned on a raiders turnover.

After the bye games vs Miami, NO, Den and LAC at home. And steal one vs TB or Atl to get to 10 wins.

This is a team that was 10-7 with rich B but mark davis hired NE people and went 6-11, 8-9 and now more than likely another losing season.
