The Las Vegas Raiders cant afford to take the Washington Football Team lightly in their game on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas even though Washington has the worst record of the six teams left on their schedule.The Silver and Black must win Willie Snead IV Jersey to improve their playoff chances.Washington (5-6) defeated the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night and are in the final National Football Conference playoff spot at the moment, but the Raiders must beat them and two other teams to finish over .500 at 9-8, but even that wont guarantee a playoff spot.The Raiders path to the playoffs wont be easy because none of the other five teams left on their schedule have losing records: the Kansas City Chiefs (7-4), the Cleveland Browns (6-6), the Indianapolis Colts (6-6), the Los Angeles Chargers (6-5) and the Denver Broncos (6-5). The Chargers currently hold the tiebreaker over the Raiders by beating them, 28-14, earlier this season, while the Raiders have the tiebreaker over the Broncos because of a 34-24 victory, both of them coming on the road, so the Raiders will get Seth Roberts Jersey both teams at Allegiant Stadium in the closing weeks of the season.The Raiders havent reached the playoffs since 2017 or won a playoff game since 2002. They were 4-12, 7-9, and 8-8 the last three seasons, getting off to promising starts in the last two years before fading and again mi sing the playoffs. The NFL has added a 17th game this season.Once again, the Raiders are in a position to make it to the post-season with a strong finish. We are playing meaningful games, quarterback Derek Carr said after leading the Raiders to a 36-33 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in overtime on Thanksgiving. It is something we have gotten to do here a couple of times. The one time we go to the playoffs (in 2017), I broke my leg and I didnt get to play. Thats disheartening, but its that drive. Its that thing that keeps staying in my heart that I just want to do it for this organization.The Raiders, playing one of the most difficult schedules in the NFL this season, have looked like a playoff team at timesespecially when they got off to a 3-0 start to the season, later after they reached 5-2 and again when they beat the Cowboys at ATT Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Now, its time for them to show they are for real.Scroll to ContinueCarr pa sed for 373 yards against the Cowboys, including a 56-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver DeSean Jackson, even with tight end Darren Waller mi sing the second half because of a knee injury.That put Carr back into the NFL Morgan Cox Jersey lead with 3,414 pa sing yards this season, with Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers second at 3,403.It was (Jacksons) third week in the system, and I think Oly (offensive coordinator Greg Olson) did a phenomenal job of getting him in position on a lot of different route concepts for us where Derek knew that he could be there when he was supposed to be there, interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said. Derek is his biggest critic. He wants to do well all the time. He wants to do well all the Matt Judon Jersey time in practice. He wants to do well in walkthroughs. Again, hes been off sync a little bit. Weve all been off sync. When its good, its complementary. When its bad, its easy to just point at the one guy. Hes the trigger guy. Its probably the most difficult position in all of sports to go out there and do that week in and week out and (against the Cowboys), he just looked like Derek Carr.Carr knows the Raiders have to keep things going on both sides of the ball in the final weeks of the season, where they have faltered in the last two seasons.And it starts this week against Washington.You would like to think Mark Ingram II Jersey this is the time to get hot, week. We sure have done it the opposite in years past. Hopefully, this is the time that we can really hit the ground running and get hot at the right time. Weve got a big one this week. If we dont take care of busine s in the meetings, dont take care of busine s at practice and all through this week, then Washington is going to come in here and beat us. Obviously, we dont want that. So, we got to be focused and locked in and bring it on Sunday.The Raiders' season depends on it.Want to talk about this? Want to air your opinion about all things Las Vegas Raiders?
