The Las Vegas Raiders were eliminated from the NFL playoffs after a 23-20 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. Interim coach Antonio Pierce has seen the Raiders struggle with penalties and missed opportunities this season. Rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell finished with 299 yards and two touchdowns, with much of his success coming from wide receiver Davante Adams. The Raiders have been inconsistent under Pierce, leading to uncertainty about his future as the head coach. The Colts secured a 14-3 halftime lead over the Raiders, putting them closer to clinching a playoff spot.
