2024 Las Vegas Raiders season

65th season in franchise history From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 season was the Las Vegas Raiders' 55th in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their fifth in Las Vegas, and their only season under the head coach/general manager tandem of Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco.[1] Unable to improve on their 8–9 record from 2023, the Raiders failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third consecutive season (and the 20th time in 22 seasons), and instead went 4–13 for their third consecutive losing season. Their .235 winning percentage was their poorest since 2014. It was their first season since 2018 when they were based in Oakland placing last in the AFC West.

The Raiders fired Pierce two days after the season ended. Two days later, Telesco was also fired. For the first time since 2006 when they were based in Oakland, the team did not win a single game against their AFC West opponents. On a brighter note, rookie tight end Brock Bowers broke Darren Waller's record for the most receptions in a season as a Raider with 112; the previous record was 107.

Offseason

Coaching changes

On October 31, 2023, following a Week 8 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Raiders fired Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler.[2] The Raiders named linebackers coach Antonio Pierce interim head coach,[3] and assistant general manager Champ Kelly interim general manager.[4] Following the season, the team named Antonio Pierce the full-time head coach after the team finished the season with a record of 5–4 under Pierce.[5] On January 23, 2024, Tom Telesco was hired as the general manager of the Raiders.[6]

With the loss, the Raiders were not only swept by the Broncos for the first time since 2014, but also due to the Chiefs win over the Panthers, the Raiders were mathematically incapable of clinching the AFC West for the 21st year in a row. The loss also tied them with the Giants for the worst record in the NFL.

With the loss, the Raiders fell to 2–10, suffered their eighth straight loss, the team's longest losing streak since 2014, and became the second team eliminated from playoff contention. Also, with the Denver Broncos Monday night win over the Cleveland Browns, the Raiders would seal a last place finish in the AFC West.
