Raiders Double Down on Win-Now Plan After OT Loss With Trade Deadline Hours Away

Pete Carroll says the Raiders will prioritize short-term gains at the trade deadline.

Overview

  • Las Vegas fell to 2-6 with a 30-29 overtime loss to Jacksonville, failing on a two-point try after earlier special-teams errors including a missed extra point and a 54-yard kickoff return to start OT.
  • Carroll said he is not considering long-term, future-focused trades and is intent on getting better immediately as Tuesday’s deadline approaches.
  • Local reporting notes the Raiders did not interview Jaguars coach Liam Coen during their search, a decision drawing fresh scrutiny after his team’s win in Las Vegas.
  • Tight end Brock Bowers returned from a knee issue to catch 12 passes for 127 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Raiders convert three of four red-zone chances.
  • The team says QB Aidan O’Connell (broken wrist) and S Lonnie Johnson Jr. (fractured leg) are nearing returns from injured reserve, with a Thursday game next at the 7-2 Broncos.
