The future becomes a primary source of interest, specifically how close the team that fell to Denver 16-15 will be to the NFL’s better teams upon arriving in Las Vegas.
Whether the season ends for Oakland in Denver on Sunday depends on several factors beyond the Raiders’ control, but none of it matters if they don’t walk off the field a winner.
The Raiders controlled reeling Los Angeles for most of 60 minutes Sunday, posting a 24-17 win before a heavy dose of Oakland faithful at Dignity Health Sports Park.
The journey back to respectability for UNLV basketball seems further off than ever, the Rebels on Wednesday night showing to have far more issues than even a 74-66 defeat might suggest.
Hall will be calling Arizona and the Pacific Division home for at least the remainder of this season, the veteran star and impending free agent traded to the Coyotes from New Jersey on Monday.
Valentin Zykov has never been as good with the Golden Knights as his Sunday performance. He gave his team a lead and forechecked furiously in the win.
It won’t help UNLV’s new football coach beat Boise State, but first impressions can certainly work wonders in terms of how a community will support a program which has rarely succeeded.
Young. No head coaching experience. And now in charge of trying to do something at UNLV that nobody has done consistently in 30 years. Welcome to the Marcus Arroyo Era.
The Raiders fell this time to the Titans before an unhappy crowd of 52,760 at Oakland-Alameda Coliseum, where boos rained down on the team that will move to Las Vegas in 2020.

California cowboy Kyle Lockett qualified for the National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas Mack Center for the first time since 2005, now 42 and married with four children.
Tony Sanchez did everything but win at UNLV, setting the program on a path for success more than anyone else who held his position. He defeated UNR on Saturday in his final game.
Landing a coach with supreme name recognition is exactly the path UNLV should travel in football, one that could ultimately affect all other sports in a positive manner.
Tony Sanchez, fired with one game remaining in his fifth season as Rebels football coach, leaves the program in much better shape than anyone who has held the job.
