#1 The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 9-5 after shutting out the Las Vegas Raiders (2-12) 31-0 in Philadelphia on Sunday. It was the Raiders eighth loss in a row.

#2 The Raiders defense simply couldn’t do anything with the Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and their offense. For Hurts 12 completions in 15 attempts for 175 yards and three touchdowns.

#3 In the second half the Raiders like the first half couldn’t convert even a field goal and just couldn’t take advantage of even getting in the red zone.

#4 Raider back up quarterback Kenny Pickett struggled all afternoon throwing going 15-25 for only 64 yards one interception. Pickett try as hard as he may and filling for the injured Geno Smith was running for his life all game long.

#5 The Raiders are back at the chalkboard again trying to figure this out next week in Houston against the Texans on Sun Dec 21st. The Texans are on a roll having won six games in a row having defeated the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Raiders could have their hands full again next Sunday.

  4. On defense: can Eagles pass-rushers like Jalen Carter or Jordan Davis pressure the Raiders’ (possibly backup) quarterback enough to disrupt their passing game?
  5. Which of the Eagles’ wide receivers A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith — will step up and exploit matchups in the Raiders’ secondary?

(LAS VEGAS) — If it wasn’t bad enough that the Las Vegas Raiders lost to the Denver Broncos, they also lost their quarterback Geno Smith.

As the norm at the 5-year-old Las Vegas Stadium, a sea of opposing fans watched Bo Nix and the Broncos defeat the now 3-10 Raiders 24-17 at Allegiant Stadium. The Broncos quarterback passed for 212 yards, completing 31 of 38 passes, and rushed for a touchdown.

The Raiders have an inverse record to the Broncos, 2-11 and 11-2 respectively, and now lost seven games in a row. Despite the end result being a one-score game, the Broncos showed clearly that they were the better team.

In the first quarter, both teams traded blows. Nix ran 8 yards for the first touchdown, the last of 14 plays to get the score. Shortly after, Smith passed to Brock Bowers for a 15-yard touchdown.

The Broncos took the lead in the second quarter, with a 48-yard punt return by Denver’s Marvin Mims Jr. Denver added on in the third quarter, with a touchdown by running back RJ Harvey, making the score 21-7.

Kicker Wil Lutz capped the scoring for the Broncos in the fourth quarter, with a 23-yard field goal, making the score 24-7.

The Raiders would tack on a touchdown in the fourth quarter as backup QB Kenny Pickett through to Shedrick Jackson for a 25-yard touchdown. Daniel Carlson would latter add on 3 more points with a field goal, making the score 24-17.

Smith left the game in the third quarter with a shoulder injury. He has been ruled out for the next game.

Up next, the Raiders will head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles on Sunday, Dec. 14. Game time is 10 a.m. PST.

#3The Raiders quarterback Geno Smith just couldn’t get neither the run or passing game to get on the scoreboard.

#4 For Smith Sunday going 30-44 for 285 yards and one interception but just couldn’t get the offense to launch and once again the Raiders ended up being short this time way short.

#5 The Raiders were shutout in the first and third quarters. The Raiders defense were having a decent game they shutout the Browns in the second and third quarters but it wasn’t enough to close the game out in a 14 point loss at home.

#6 It doesn’t get easier for the Raiders they head to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Chargers (7-4). The Chargers got crushed on Sunday by the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-6. How do you see this match up in Jacksonville for the Raiders Sun Nov 16th.
