Overview
- Las Vegas fell to 2-12 with an eighth straight defeat as the Eagles blanked the Raiders 31-0 and held them to 75 total yards, the franchise’s second-lowest mark ever.
- Pro Football Talk reported, citing a league source, that the team is exploring a negotiated resolution in which Carroll would “retire” and receive a portion of what he is owed, a scenario that remains unconfirmed.
- Pete Carroll rejected the idea that his team has quit, insisting players “fought their ass off” despite another shutout and persistent struggles to sustain drives.
- Geno Smith was inactive with a shoulder injury, Kenny Pickett started and finished 15-of-25 for 64 yards with four sacks, and the offense continued a rare streak of allowing 4+ sacks and rushing for under 75 yards in six straight games.
- National commentators urged Mark Davis to empower Tom Brady over football operations, though Brady’s Fox contract and NFL rules constrain any expanded, immediate role.
