Raiders Fall to Panthers, Hold 1-2 Record

The Las Vegas Raiders have had a disappointing start to their 2024 season, now holding a 1-2 record following a 36-22 loss to the Carolina Panthers, one of the league's weakest teams. Coach Antonio Pierce criticized the team's effort, suggesting some players made 'business decisions' during the game, and hinted at potential roster changes. Raiders star Davante Adams echoed Pierce's sentiments, stressing the need for increased effort and rhythm in their play. Defensive end Maxx Crosby acknowledged the poor performance and called it a 'wake-up call.' Despite speculation, the Raiders have decided to stick with Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback. Offensive struggles, including the league's least effective rushing attack, and a poorly performing defense are major concerns moving forward.
