There’s more on the line for Jaguars and Raiders after the season than in Sunday’s meeting

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — The game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday isn’t exactly one CBS or the NFL is in a hurry to showcase. But I think these next three weeks really can set us up for the future, for the offseason, for next year and how we can build and where we need to add pieces and all of that kind of stuff, the development of our roster.” Whether Pederson will be part of that future or coach Antonio Pierce will be in Las Vegas’ plans remains to be seen. NFL coaches often don’t make it to another season with these records: 3-11 for the Jaguars and 2-10 for the Raiders with a 10-game losing streak. “We’ll keep chopping wood, and at some point, the damn thing will break and go our way.” O’Connell’s journey Aidan O’Connell has heard the talk that the Raiders need a franchise quarterback, but he said working his way from walk-on to record-setting starter at Purdue taught him the importance of patience.
