The exasperating Raiders need to change their fortunes and their narrative

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:15:44 GMT

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — There’s always something exasperating going on with the Las Vegas Raiders.What happened Sunday isn’t nearly as serious as the recent Chandler Jones saga or the offensive emails that cost Jon Gruden his job, but it still follows a disturbing pattern for the Raiders.Jerry Tillery took an unnecessary shot at Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who was clearly out of bounds, in Los Angeles’ 24-17 victory. That drew a personal foul penalty, the ire of the LA players on the sideline who immediately came to Herbert’s defense and the decision from the league office to eject the former Charger.As for whether the play warranted an ejection, the NFL is always going to come down on the side of keeping the quarterback safe. Tillery should’ve known better, and it was in that same SoFi Stadium last season that he swiped the ball out of the hands of Los Angeles Rams QB Baker Mayfield. That helped extend what turned out to be the winning drive fo...
