Raiders Slide Worsens With 33–16 MNF Defeat as Pete Carroll’s Choices Draw Fire

Carroll took ownership of the pass‑heavy plan, reaffirming Geno Smith as his starter.

Overview

  • The loss to Dallas drops Las Vegas to 2-8 and extends its skid to four straight games.
  • Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes as the Cowboys scored on four consecutive drives in the second quarter.
  • The Raiders ran just 12 times for 27 yards, fueling criticism of the offensive approach and the underuse of rookie RB Ashton Jeanty.
  • Geno Smith shouldered blame postgame with a repeated “blame it on me” refrain, while Carroll said he still believes Smith played well overall.
  • Veteran Maxx Crosby voiced frustration over recurring issues as fan and media calls for changes around the coaching staff grew louder.
