Seattle Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak neither confirmed nor denied an agreement with the Raiders days before the Super Bowl, but his current team sees him as a “great mentor.”
The NFL will play its first regular-season game ever in France next season with the New Orleans Saints set to travel to Paris later this year and the league will also head back to Mexico City for the first time since 2022.
Here is an initial list of potential candidates to serve as offensive coordinator on Klint Kubiak’s first staff with the Las Vegas Raiders, including a clear front-runner.
The Raiders gave their home fans something to cheer about in a big game on Sunday, and Allegiant Stadium responded.
The Houston Texans’ upset helped Las Vegas sportsbooks to a small winning day despite the fact that double-digit favorites went 4-1 ATS and favorites went 7-4 ATS overall.
The wide receiver had three catches in Sunday’s 17-13 win over the Broncos to join a list that previously only included a pair of Hall of Famers.
Running back Josh Jacobs and the much-maligned offensive line delivered on the Raiders’ opening drive in the second half of Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos.
The third-year back firmly put the Raiders on his shoulders in the second half against Denver at Allegiant Stadium, leading to a 17-13 win.
The Denver Broncos were 1 of 10 on third down and totaled 158 yards Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders hadn’t held an opponent to fewer than 200 yards in nine years.
The defense absolutely carried the Raiders to victory. They have won two straight and remained in the hunt for a playoff berth because of this side of the ball.
The Raiders came up with a key second-half drive, Josh Jacobs ran with a purpose, and the defense stood out all day.
Fueled by Josh Jacobs’ first 100-yard rushing game of the season, the Raiders’ 17-13 win over the Broncos put their playoff fate in their hands.
