The Las Vegas Raiders’ dismal season shows no signs of improvement, as the team dropped to 2-8 following a Week 11 defeat to the Miami Dolphins.
The 20-point collapse in the fourth quarter marked their sixth straight loss, with little hope of turning things around given their challenging upcoming schedule. The once-promising victory against Baltimore early in the season now feels like a distant anomaly in a year defined by struggles.
Star defensive end Maxx Crosby offered a brutally honest assessment of the team’s current state. After Sunday’s loss, Crosby remarked:
“We’re just playing for pride at this point,” summing up the bleak reality facing the Raiders.
With no realistic playoff hopes and glaring weaknesses across the roster, the team has been unable to recover from early missteps, including shaky quarterback options and the midseason departure of their star wide receiver.
Crosby’s admission resonates with Raiders fans, who, like the players, are now left focusing on pride rather than performance. As the season dwindles, attention will inevitably shift toward the offseason and the search for a franchise quarterback to lead the team into a brighter future.
For now, the Raiders must contend with a season reduced to salvaging dignity amidst mounting disappointment.
