Less than two weeks after Raiders owner Mark Davis sent Josh McDaniels to the unemployment line, details are surfacing about the “why” of it all. Dating back to McDaniels’ time in New England and Denver, the cracks were always there to show that the hiring was a terrible decision. Now, players are unveiling just how …

Josh McDaniels and his Raiders will take on their division rivals, the Chargers (led by Brandon Staley), in a contest that carries significant importance for both teams.

The Raiders hit the ground running on Sunday vs. the San Francisco 49ers with a 34-7 blowout in the team’s preseason opener.
