ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) – The Oakland Raiders usually spend this time of year saying their goodbyes, planning for the offseason and playing for a job next season.
So even though their playoff hopes might be slim, just having them at this time of year is a welcome change for a team that has endured seven consecutive losing seasons.
Oakland (7-7) remained in contention by beating Denver 39-23 on Sunday. But in order to win the AFC West and make the playoffs for the first time since 1982, the Raiders will need plenty of help.
They need Kansas City to lose this week and San Diego to lose one of its final two games. Then the Raiders need to beat Indianapolis at home this week and win the season finale at Kansas City.
