Offseason

Front office changes

On January 17, the team announced that general manager Mike Mayock had been fired after three years with the team. On January 30, the Raiders named longtime New England Patriots' executive Dave Ziegler as their new general manager. On May 6, Raiders' owner Mark Davis announced that team president Dan Ventrelle was no longer with the organization. Following this, Ventrelle alleged that Raiders' owner Mark Davis created a hostile work environment, and once the former president acknowledged this, he was fired. Around May 21, Marcel Reece, already senior advisor and then chief people officer, became team senior vice president, chief of staff. On July 7, the team announced Sandra Douglass Morgan as new president. Morgan is the first black woman in NFL history to assume this role.

Coaching changes

Game information

After a comeback win over Russell Wilson's current team, the Broncos, the Las Vegas Raiders travelled to Lumen Field to play his former team, the Seattle Seahawks. Las Vegas began the game very poorly, with Derek Carr already getting intercepted on only the first play. This set up a 12-yard touchdown run by Kenneth Walker, giving the Seahawks a 7-0 lead in the first 28 seconds. Just over 5 minutes later, Carr hit Ameer Abdullah with an 18-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 7. However, on the Raiders' 3rd drive, he would throw another interception, which the Seahawks took a 10-7 lead off of by virtue of a 24-yard field goal from Jason Myers as the first quarter ended. From that point on, Derek Carr and the Raiders would shape up.

In the second quarter, Jason Meyers kicked a 34-yard field goal to bring the Seahawks' lead up to 13-7. Carr hit Mack Hollins with a 36-yard touchdown pass to swipe the Seahawks' lead and put the Raiders up, 14-13. After an interception by Geno Smith, Josh Jacobs ran for a 30-yard touchdown to bring the Raiders' lead up to 21-13. The Seahawks came within one point when Smith hit Tyler Lockett with a 35-yard touchdown pass. At the half, a 36-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson brought the Raiders' lead up to four points.

In the third quarter, Kenneth Walker would run in a second touchdown from 14 yards out to swipe the lead from the Raiders and put the Seahawks up, 27-24, and then, by virtue of Daniel Carlson kicking a 25-yard field goal, the Raiders tied the game at 27.

In the fourth quarter, Geno Smith would keep on shining, hitting Travis Homer with an 18-yard touchdown pass, putting the Seahawks up 34-27 with 5:37 left in regulation. However, the Raiders once again tied the game, this time, at 34, when Derek Carr hit Foster Moreau with a 5-yard touchdown pass. With neither team doing anything for the last 1:54 in regulation, it was time for overtime.

40 seconds into overtime, Josh Jacobs ripped off a walk-off 86-yard touchdown run to put the Raiders up, 40-34, drawing the game to a close and giving the Raiders their first win in Seattle since 1998, when they were based in Oakland, and the Seahawks were division mates with the Raiders.

With the upset win, the Raiders improved to 4-7. Josh Jacobs ran for 229 yards on 33 attempts for 2 touchdowns, including the touchdown that won the game for the Raiders, and averaged 6.9 yards per carry.

Game information

After a chilling overtime win against the Seahawks, the Raiders returned home for a rematch with one of their AFC West rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers. Las Vegas would overcome their second 10-point deficit in three games. Just like the previous game, Las Vegas began the game very poorly, with Bryce Callahan returning a Derek Carr interception for a score not even 10 minutes into the game, giving the Chargers a 7-0 lead.

In the second quarter, the game worsened for the Raiders when Cameron Dicker booted a 37-yard field goal to put them in a 10-0 hole. Josh Jacobs, though, would trim the Raiders' deficit to three points with a 20-yard touchdown run, and would eventually be accompanied by a 55-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson to tie the game at 10, only for the Chargers to break the tie with a 34-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker, putting them up, 13-10 at the half.

Things significantly turned around for the Raiders in the second half, largely due to Derek Carr hitting Davante Adams with two consecutive touchdown passes in the third quarter, from 31 yards and 45 yards, respectively, and putting the Raiders up, 24-13. They kept Justin Herbert in check, allowing the Bolts to score only six points on the first eight drives.

In the fourth quarter, a 25-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson brought the Raiders' lead to 27-13. Herbert hit Keenan Allen with a 35-yard touchdown pass on 4th down to make it a 27-20 game with 8:34 left, which would end up being the final score. Just as the Chargers appeared likely to come back to life, since they got the ball to Las Vegas' side of the field, they could not do anything, as their final drive ended on a turnover on downs.

With the upset win, the Raiders improved to 5–7. Davante Adams caught 8 passes for 177 yards and 2 touchdowns in the win.

Game information

Despite almost squandering a 17–3 lead, the Raiders tied the game at 24 with a late controversial touchdown pass from Derek Carr to Keelan Cole, then won due to a bizarre blunder at the end of regulation by the Patriots. As New England quarterback Mac Jones handed the ball off to running back Rhamondre Stevenson, presumably to run out the clock and force overtime, Stevenson picked up 23 yards from the New England 44-yard-line to the Las Vegas 32-yard-line as the Raiders were in prevent defense. With Raiders safety Duron Harmon closing in, Stevenson pitched the ball to Patriots receiver Jakobi Meyers, who ran back to the 40-yard-line before throwing the ball back towards Mac Jones' vicinity, unaware that Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones was guarding him. The latter intercepted the ball and stiff-armed the former to the ground before running the ball back to the New England endzone for the Raiders' improbable game-winning touchdown, which was later nicknamed the "Vagary in Vegas" by NFL.com, "Col-lateral damage" by the Lowell Sun, and the "Lunatic Lateral" by Sports Illustrated.

With the win, the Raiders defeated the Patriots for the first time since 2002, when the team was based in Oakland, and improved to 6–8.

Game information

After a bizarre win over the New England Patriots, the Las Vegas Raiders travelled to Acrisure Stadium on Christmas Eve to face one of their longtime rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. This game was meant to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, one of the most famous plays in American football, where the Steelers beat the then-Oakland Raiders in the 1972 playoffs.

The Raiders drew first blood, with Derek Carr hitting Hunter Renfrow with a 14-yard touchdown pass to take a 7-0 lead. The Steelers would try a 43-yard field goal and failed; the Raiders scored the only points of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Chris Boswell booted a 44-yard field goal to trim the Raiders' lead to four points. However, Vegas pushed their lead back up to seven points with a 40-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson.

In the second half, though, things took a turn in the wrong direction for Vegas, with Derek Carr getting intercepted on two consecutive drives. After the first interception, the Steelers tried a field goal from 52 yards and missed it. No points were scored in the third quarter.

However, just as the Raiders appeared likely to give the Steelers their first losing season in 19 years, it was all Steelers in the fourth quarter, as they scored the final 10 points. Chris Boswell booted a 40-yard field goal to trim the Raiders' lead to 4 points. Kenny Pickett would then hit George Pickens with a 14-yard touchdown pass with less than a minute left to reach the final score of 13–10 in favor of Pittsburgh.

Derek Carr tried to resuscitate the Raiders with less than 40 seconds left and could not succeed at that; he got intercepted, and his time in Las Vegas came to an end.

With the loss, the Raiders fell to 6–9, and were sent to their first losing season since 2019 when they were based in Oakland.

Darren Waller caught 4 passes for 58 yards in the loss.
