Las Vegas Raiders Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders faced another tough loss, falling 23-21 to the Houston Texans, marking their ninth consecutive defeat and dropping their record to 2-13. According to CBS Sports, rookie running back Ashton Jeanty had a standout performance with 188 total yards and two long touchdowns, showcasing his potential against a solid Texans defense.

However, despite the signs of life, including an inspired defensive effort, the Raiders were unable to secure a win, compounded by a costly interception from Geno Smith, as reported by ESPN. This loss leaves the Raiders in a precarious position as they look ahead to potentially competing for the No. 1 pick in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, with a critical matchup against the New York Giants next week, as highlighted by The Athletic.
