The Las Vegas Raiders suffered a devastating 31-0 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles, marking their eighth consecutive loss of the season. According to CBS Sports, the Raiders' offense struggled significantly, managing to record under 100 total yards, a historic low for the franchise.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts shone in the game, throwing three touchdown passes, two of which went to Dallas Goedert, helping the Eagles snap a three-game losing streak. In the aftermath, Raiders head coach Pete Carroll expressed defiance regarding the team's performance, suggesting that the players have not quit on him despite the evident struggles.
The loss has implications for the Raiders' future draft positioning, as they are now tied with the New York Giants at a 2-12 record, but the Giants currently hold the tiebreaker for the top draft pick based on strength of schedule.
Additionally, the Raiders announced that Aidan O'Connell was activated as the backup quarterback for this match, though it was Kenny Pickett who started. The team is now left to regroup and assess their next steps as they continue their challenging season.
