Since 2000, 109 teams have started the season 0-3. Only one – the Houston Texans at the end of the 2018 season – has made the playoffs. And that means the stakes were higher than ever in Sunday’s matchup between the Raiders and Titans: for the first time in 16 years (and the third time in NFL history at all!) the two playoff contenders from last year met each other as 0-2 teams. That is, both were hoping for the best in the 2022 season, but one of them was in de facto danger of ending the season at the end of three weeks.

“The Raiders didn’t seize the moment. “Tennessee led 24-10 by halftime and didn’t even need an extra point after that. “The Raiders cut the lead to 22-24, but couldn’t convert a two-point play in the final minutes.

It looked like that was it for the Raiders. And the team has the ambition to surpass everyone in the league. The club spent $440 million this offseason on five star players, including the creation of the crazy Derek Carr-Davante Adams duo. And now it’s the only team in the NFL with an 0-3 record. (It’s not the only team without wins – the Texans are going 0-2-1). And the three teams the Raiders have lost to (Chargers, Cardinals, Titans) are going 3-6 overall, meaning their only wins are against Las Vegas. “The Raiders can’t beat teams that can’t beat anyone else.

Sure, Vegas has had bets with much higher odds, but by all appearances, the Raiders were out of the playoff race before October came around.
