The Las Vegas Raiders are entering the 2024 NFL season with high expectations following a record-setting 63-21 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last December, which led to significant changes within both franchises. Quarterback Gardner Minshew has been named the starter after winning a competition against Aidan O’Connell, while the team released Jimmy Garoppolo, who has since signed with the Rams. The Raiders aim to improve in the AFC West, where they have enjoyed recent success against the Broncos but struggle against the Chiefs. Defensively, questions remain, particularly at cornerback, as they prepare for key matchups, including one against the dynamic Rams receiving duo. As the Raiders gear up for their home opener, they are focused on building momentum from last season's successes and addressing their weaknesses. The team's transition to Las Vegas has bolstered its brand and fan base, further enhancing their presence in the NFL landscape.
