Raiders Playoff Hopes Flickering After Latest Loss
ALAMEDA (CBS 5 / AP) -- During a nearly decade-long stretch of ineptitude, the Oakland Raiders have managed to find all sorts of ways to lose games.
None of those 90 losses since the start of the 2003 season were quite like the most recent one at Jacksonville or nearly as painful.
With a chance to move within a game of Kansas City for the AFC West lead and have control of their playoff fate, the Raiders (6-7) put together one of their most complete offensive games in recent memory but still ended up on the short side of a 38-31 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Now the Raiders need to win their final three games against Denver, Indianapolis and Kansas City and hope the Chiefs lose one other game and San Diego drops at least one contest down the stretch in order to win the division.
