Whoever was in charge of Jon Gruden’s wardrobe and choice of caps is in trouble. The Raiders’ coach wore one in the first half that apparently paid tribute to the Oakland version of the team. Things were corrected in the second half when the cap was changed to Las Vegas version
Erin Andrews says the Las Vegas Raiders are “kinda shocked” that they didn’t notice Jon Gruden had on an *Oakland* Raiders hat to begin the game. pic.twitter.com/H6pOmS96CZ

MARIOTA.
A 35-yard dime to Darren Waller puts the @Raiders ahead! #RaiderNation

Raiders Fade Pattern, Again
The Raiders were 6-4 in 2019 and finished 7-9. That’s a 1-5 mark in the final six games. They are on their way to replicating the collapse. They were 6-3 in 2020 and are now 7-7. That’s 1-4 in the last five after the loss to the Raiders in overtime.
