Overview

  • Dallas beat Las Vegas 33-16 at Allegiant Stadium on Monday night, handing the Raiders their eighth loss in 10 games.
  • Pete Carroll sounded apologetic postgame, saying he felt bad about the performance and offering few answers for the skid, per NBC Sports.
  • Las Vegas threw for 236 yards but ran for just 27, with a first half that featured 30-plus dropbacks and four or fewer rushes, a rarity since 1991 according to the Associated Press.
  • Rookie running back Ashton Jeanty logged only six carries for seven yards, including two attempts in the first half.
  • Yahoo Sports argues the team needs a reset as the Raiders are 1-8 since Week 1 and rank 30th in points and yards despite adding Geno Smith, drafting Jeanty sixth overall, and hiring Chip Kelly as the NFL’s highest-paid coordinator.
