Raiders Struggle Continues: 2-7 Record Leaves Them Among NFL's Worst

As of November 11th, 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders are firmly entrenched as one of the worst teams in the National Football League. The team has started the season with a dismal 2-7 record, marking the second consecutive year they have struggled out of the gate.

The 2025 campaign has been just as much of a debacle as the previous season, if not worse. The Raiders invested millions into quarterback Geno Smith and multiple draft picks into skill position players, but these investments have yet to pay dividends. The team's offense has consistently underperformed, contributing to a three-game losing streak.

Despite the defensive unit holding the Denver Broncos to just 10 points in a recent matchup, the Raiders' offense could only manage 7 points in the close loss. Pro Football Focus analyst Jacob Infante recently ranked the Raiders as the 28th-best team in the league, highlighting their lack of consistency and inability to be taken seriously as a playoff contender.

Head coach Pete Carroll remains optimistic, stating that he sees a lot of positive things and is "trying to make it happen" to get the wins the team desires. However, the Raiders' struggles this season have been a continuation of the issues that plagued them in 2024, leaving little reason for their fans to be hopeful about a turnaround in the near future.
