LAS VEGAS, NV — The Las Vegas Raiders (2-12) lost their 10th straight game after a 15-9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons (7-7) on a cool night in Sin City.

Las Vegas was in trouble immediately, after they fumbled on their opening drive. Atlanta took that gift and eventually capitalized on it with a 30-yard touchdown pass by Kirk Cousins to Drake London, with :14 left in the first quarter. After 15 minutes of play, the Dirty Birds led 7-0 inside Allegiant Stadium.

In the second quarter, the home team finally got off the snide and converted a field Goal. Daniel Carson booted it from 52 yards away. However, they would give another two points on a Safety. Alexander Mattison, who also fumbled in the first quarter, was tackled in his own end zone. Atlanta led by six points at that point in the game.

At the half, the Raiders trailed by six, 9-3. At that juncture of the game, it was uncertain if the Raiders would score any more points in the second 30 minutes of the contest.

In the third quarter, the Raiders intercepted Cousins, and seemingly had momentum on their side. Unfortunately for them, that turned into a punt blocked by Atlanta, and another score by them.

Kicker Younghoe Koo kicked a 40-yarder to put the Falcons up by nine, 12-3. That margin lasted to the end of the quarter. Going into the final quarter, Atlanta was seemingly in total control, but there was 15 minutes left in the battle.

The fourth stanza had Koo making another FG (48), and putting his Falcons up by 12, 15-3. The Raiders did respond and showed the Silver and Black Pride around 10 minutes later on the scoreboard. From that dire scenario they had at intermission, they did find a way to get into the endzone.

QB Desmond Ridder tossed a 5-yard TD pass to running back Ameer Abdullah. Daniel Carlson missed the PAT, so the Raiders had to settle for six. That was also their deficit, 15-9.

The last few minutes of the game ticked away, and the Falcons were the victors, but that is not the story. The Raiders actually put themselves in a position to win the game after all. Desmond Ridder hurled two hail marys that worked for other teams this season, but not the streaking Raiders. Being down by six at that point, a touchdown could have won it. That was not as certain, since Carlson did miss an earlier PAT.

“Disappointing, I wish we could have a better result, we’ll keep fighting, getting ready for next week.” Stated Raiders HC Antonio Pierce after another close loss.

The Raiders are next in action Sunday, December 22, as they host the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1:25 PDT on CBS. The Falcons fly back to Atlanta to host the New York Giants the same date on FOX at 1:00 PM EST

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders (2-11) once again were on their opponents heels late in a game but once again the game got away from them in the fourth quarter. This time against the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6) the Raiders had a 14-10 but the Bucs pulled ahead with a touchdown in the fourth quarter that pretty much put the kibosh on any chance for the Raiders to come back losing to Tampa Bay 21-10.

#2 Once again the Raiders played a close game quarterback Aidan O’Connell didn’t throw anywhere close to 200 yards and if the Raiders were able to get just that much more offense just maybe they would have been able to get the lead.

#3 The Raiders scored twice in the second quarter with O’Connell rushing for a one yard touchdown at 8:07 making it 14-7 and with a 25 yard field goal at 4:28 by kicker Daniel Carlson cutting Tampa Bay’s lead to four points 14-10 at the half..

#4 Fourth quarter the Bucs added Rachaad White carried for three yard touchdown to pull ahead 21-10, Carlson for the Raiders booted a 27 yard field goal 21-13 at 3:05 and the Bucs put the final touches on scoring Sunday with a quarterback Baker Mayfield 29 yard pass to Jalen McMillan 1:56 giving the Bucs a 28-13 win.

#5 Sunday’s loss is the Raiders eighth consecutive. This has been a struggling effort by the Raiders just to get back in the win column a place they have not been since Sep 29th when they defeated the Cleveland Browns. The Raiders take that eight game skid into their next game at Allegiant Stadium against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football on Dec 16th. The Falcons lost to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday and the Falcons drop below .500 at 6-7. How do you see this game next week Monday?

#1 Tony talk about the fumble at the end of the game. The Las Vegas Raiders were in the Kansas City Chiefs zone at the 48 trying to get good field position for kicker Daniel Carlson to kick a game winning field goal with seconds left in the game.

#4 To Raiders defense they kept the pressure up on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs scored a field goal in the first quarter, a touchdown in the second quarter, two field goals in the third quarter by Michael Wright, and it was Wright’s game go ahead field goal with 9:53 left that lifted the Chiefs past the by a field goal.

#5 The Raiders now 2-10 having lost eight in a row will come face to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Bucs are just a game out of first place with a 5-6 record. The Bucs are 2-4 at home the Raiders are a 1-6 on the road. It’s a 10:00 AM PST kick off how do you see this game shaking out?

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders (2-8) just couldn’t get any scoring going in all four quarters and not enough to stay in step with the Miami Dolphins (4-6) getting beat 34-19 dropping their sixth straight game at Hard Rock Cafe in Miami.

#2 The Raiders with this loss have given up 75 points in their last two games 34 points Sunday against the Dolphins and last week 41 points to the Cincinnati Bengals. The defense has to be exhausted and the offense is giving up to many fourth downs.

#3 Tony the fourth quarter Sunday really ate up the Raiders defense the Dolphins were unstoppable scoring 17 points to putting much put this game out of reach with the Dolphins De’Von Achane carrying for two yards for a touchdown at 10:37, Jonnu Smith at 3:19 caught a 57 yard pass to make it 31-19 and at Miami kicker Jason Sanders booted a 46 yard field goal at 1:55 for the 34-19 final.

#4 Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew continues to get frustrated and just couldn’t convert enough scoring to catch the Dolphins. Minshew 30-43 for 280 yards and two touchdowns. Minshew was having trouble staying in the pocket and getting protection.

#5 Up next for the Raiders the Denver Broncos (6-5) at Allegiant Stadium next Sunday for a 1:05pm PST kickoff against the Denver Broncos and quarterback Bo Nix. The Broncos have been hovering around .500 and played the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Can you see the offensive line recovering for the Raiders and being able to hold the Broncos pass rush so that Minshew could get some time to pass the ball?
