Just when the Los Angeles Chargers they could sail to a smooth divisional win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13 of the NFL, chaos broke loose. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-herbert">Justin Herbert</a> briefly exited the game, with backup quarterback Trey Lance taking over under center for the Bolts. As he returned to the gridiron at SoFi Stadium, Herbert was wearing a glove on his left hand.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers">Chargers</a> face off against the Raiders in a crucial AFC West matchup in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. With the Kansas City Chiefs losing and the Denver Broncos set to take on the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football, Los Angeles could really use a win to put the pressure on their divisional foes. However, it can never be stress-free for the franchise in the City of Angels.



As reported by the Chargers on their official X account (@chargers), Justin Herbert was questionable to return to the game with a left hand injury. However, after missing a couple of snaps, the Oregon product returned with a glove on his left hand. 



<h2>Why is Herbert wearing a glove on his left hand?</h2>



As shown on the TV broadcast, Herbert had dislocated the ring finger on his left hand. By wearing the flashy white glove, the Chargers’ medical staff hope to keep the franchise quarterback out of harm’s way.

Fortunately for Herbert and the Chargers, his injury was on the left hand—his non-throwing hand. If Herbert had injured a finger on his right hand, then it could’ve spelled worse news for the Bolts, who are trying to sweep the season series against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Raiders</a>.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/justin-herbert-net-worth"></div>


In his first drive after returning from the locker room, Herbert led the team down the field with clinical passes. However, Herbert rolled the dice on a third-and-goal play, which came back to bite him and Los Angeles. A risky throw intended for Ladd McConkey led to an interception which wiped away all the progress made by Herbert and the Chargers.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pete Carroll</a> had to make a tough decision, but after losing in Week 12 and scoring just 10 points, he parted ways with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Now that he is relieved from his duties, the former 49ers head coach broke his silence regarding the situation that saw him leave the Las Vegas Raiders.



Kelly spoke to NFL insider Jay Glazer and said, “I am grateful for the opportunity with the Raiders, bottom line in this league you have to win. I really loved those players, I’m a huge, HUGE <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/geno-smith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Geno Smith</a> fan, that was one of the best parts of this experience for me, working with Geno and those guys every day. But hey, we gotta win. I get it.”&nbsp;



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a> offense is a bottom three unit in most categories, including yards, scoring, and rushing. Those are stats that will cost you a job, and even Kelly seems to know it judging him by his words.



<h2>Geno Smith has issues that might stem deeper from Kelly</h2>



Smith has regressed massively since leaving the Seahawks and Kelly is very responsible of it. But there is more, and the fact is that Pete Carroll must be responsible for it. Smith has had two problems: lack of protection and overall quarterback play. Well, both have a coincidence, Pete Carroll’s sons are working directly with him.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251124_BUS_533023_geno-smith-1_3d6b9a19.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Geno Smith #7 of the Las Vegas Raiders" class="wp-image-473581" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Geno Smith #7 of the Las Vegas Raiders</figcaption></figure>



Brennan Carroll is the run game and offensive line coordinator. Needless to say, the running game is not working either, but the offensive line has been atrocious. The offensive line can’t protect Smith. Then, game management and assistant quarterbacks coach Nate Carroll, also Pete’s son, has also made his mark in a negative way when it comes to Smith’s form. Kelly was the head of offense, but the fact is, it might go deeper than that.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/pete-carroll-confirms-firing-of-raiders-coach-after-loss-to-shedeur-sanders-browns"></div>


<h2>What’s next for the Raiders?</h2>



At least for now, the Raiders’ best interest is to actually lose games, because that will give them a higher draft pick for next year. But, the second most important thing is to get the right offensive coordinator. That will be key if this team wants any success in the Pete Carroll era.



When Carroll arrived, he promised this team would win a lot of games. After that, they have won just twice. So, the thing clearly is going sideways. If Carroll wants to save his job, he actually needs to nail the offensive coordinator hire.

Losing to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> and Shedeur Sanders was the final straw for Pete Carroll to take drastic measures regarding his own coaching staff. Las Vegas Raiders now fall to 2-9 and are one of the most underwhelming teams in the NFL.



Per <a href="https://www.raiders.com/news/raiders-relieve-chip-kelly-of-duties-as-offensive-coordinator" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the team’s website</a>, Pete Carroll said, “I spoke with Chip Kelly earlier this evening and informed him of his release as offensive coordinator of the Raiders. I would like to thank Chip for his service and wish him all the best in the future.” Scoring only 10 points against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a>‘ Browns was too much to handle.



The reality is that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chip-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chip Kelly</a> was hired because of his innovative approach and style to coach. However, it was the whole opposite for the Raiders. Quarterback Geno Smith regressed massively under him and Kelly wasn’t able to give running back Ashton Jeanty any chance to shine. A talented unit saw three steps down under Kelly’s playcall.



<h2>Chip Kelly’s reputation took a hit</h2>



Not only was Kelly highly regarded, but now, his name is not precisely one that will have many suitors right now. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a> are the third-worst total offense, the second-worst rushing offense, and the worst-scoring offense. Also, the passing offense is not working as the Raiders have the second-most interceptions thrown in the league.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251124_BUS_533011_chip-kelly_2f093449.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Chip Kelly" class="wp-image-521380" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly of the Las Vegas Raiders.</figcaption></figure>



Kelly coached Oregon from 2009-2013 at the collegiate level and that granted him three years as the Philadelphia Eagles head coach and then one as the San Francisco 49ers head coach. However, ending 2-14 as the 49ers head coach sent him back to College Football. Six years as the UCLA head coach then served him to get the Ohio State offensive coordinator. After that, he returned to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> to the Raiders. Most likely, Kelly will return to College Football.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/pete-carroll-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The Raiders will have to reestructure many things now</h2>



The offense needs a major rebuild. The two main things are fixing the offensive line and recovering the quarterback. The offensive line will allow Jeanty to finally exploit his huge talent. Also, it will protect <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/geno-smith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Geno Smith</a> a bit more.



Then, Geno Smith must be recovered. In the last four years, he completed 68.5% of his passes and had 76 touchdowns to only 36 interceptions. He has regressed, completing now 66.6% of his passes and his TD/INT ratio is one to one, as he has thrown 13 touchdowns to 13 interceptions. Raiders paid Smith, so they need to rebuild him into the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback he was just a couple of years ago.

Pete Carroll confirms firing of Raiders coach after loss to Shedeur Sanders, Browns

Pete Carroll confirms firing of Raiders coach after loss to Shedeur Sanders, Browns - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> has gone through a roller coaster during his first months in the NFL. A few months ago, the rookie was projected as a possible first-round pick, with rumors pointing to teams like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> being interested in drafting him. However, that didn’t happen.



Sanders fell all the way to the fifth round, where the Browns made a very surprising move by selecting him, considering that they had already chosen Dillon Gabriel in the third round.



During training camp and preseason, Shedeur started as the No. 4 quarterback on the depth chart behind <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco">Joe Flacco</a>, Kenny Pickett, and Gabriel. As the weeks went by, Flacco and Pickett were traded and, halfway through the season, Deion Sanders’ son suddenly became the official backup quarterback.



<h2>Is Shedeur Sanders playing today for Browns vs Raiders in NFL Week 12?</h2>



Yes. Shedeur Sanders will play as starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns against the Raiders because Dillon Gabriel is still in the concussion protocol. It’s important to remember that he already made his debut in the second half during the loss to the Ravens, but he had never received the opportunity to play as starter.


 

 


<h2>How much money is Shedeur Sanders making as Browns quarterback?</h2>



Because he was not a top pick in the 2025 draft, Shedeur Sanders signed a four-year, $4.6 million contract with the Browns. He will make $1.15 million per season. In a comparison showing the impact of his fall down the board in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jaxson Dart, who was a first-round pick, signed a four-year, $17 million deal with the Giants.

Is Shedeur Sanders starting today at quarterback for Browns vs Raiders in NFL Week 12?

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> will finally get rookie Shedeur Sanders a chance to start now that they play against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, it won’t be a normal debut for him, as it seems like the team has modified its usual gameplan to instead play into the quarterback’s playing style.



Usually, a team will have a defined playbook and the quarterback needs to execute. However, according to Cameron Wolfe of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network, the Browns changed the gameplan to let Sanders “move the pocket a little bit more and use that play-making ability.”



Also, it’s been reported that head coach Kevin Stefanski and the Browns’ staff are helping <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanders</a> to get better arm angles and reads. Dillon Gabriel is more of a pocket passer while Sanders can move a bit more and throw on the run.



<h2>Still, Browns will likely disguise Sanders</h2>



Even if the team is focusing on get Sanders the best gameplan possible, Stefanski is not precisely fond of him. Hence the fact that he is only debuting due to Gabriel suffering a concussion. Also, Stefanski loves a good running game and everyone runs effectively against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a>, who allow more than 100 rushing yards per game.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251122_BUS_531636_quinshon-judkins_c9e1ab96.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Quinshon Judkins #10 of the Cleveland Browns" class="wp-image-531657"></figure><figcaption>Quinshon Judkins #10 of the Cleveland Browns</figcaption></figure>



Rookie running back Quinshon Judkins has 620 yards and five touchdowns this season. While he is only averaging 3.9 yards per attempt, Judkins has the ability to create some big plays. Also, he has 96 rush yards over expected according to Next Gen Stats.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-shedeur-sanders-proclaims-himself-next-browns-franchise-quarterback-with-clear-message-to-fans-and-kevin-stefanski"></div>


<h2>There’s no better opponent to debut against than the Raiders</h2>



Shedeur is not a great prospect yet, he has some huge flaws in his game. Still, if you are debuting, you want the best matchup possible to be able to shine and get some ego-boosting performance.



The Raiders are that. The team is 2-8 with the ninth-worst scoring defense in the NFL and allow a 95.8 passer rating. Yes, having edge rusher Maxx Crosby going at Sanders is a risk, but besides that, Shedeur Sanders should be able to have a decent-to-good performance.

Pete Carroll and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a> suffered another painful 10-7 loss against the Broncos in the start of Week 10. As a result, the team has fallen to a 2-7 record, with virtually no hopes of reaching the playoffs.



During the game in Denver, special teams played a key role for the Raiders with crucial miscues. A blocked kick allowed the Broncos to take the lead in the third quarter and, when they were ready to tie the game with 4:30 remaining, a missed 48-yard field goal by Daniel Carlson crushed their hopes.



With the arrival of players like Geno Smith and Ashton Jeanty, the Raiders had hopes of finally taking the AFC West from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, but that’s not going to happen. Carroll has taken significant measures in response to the situation.



<h2>Did the Raiders fire a coach?</h2>



Yes. The Las Vegas Raiders confirmed that they have fired special teams coach Tom McMahon after the loss to the Denver Broncos. This was Pete Carroll’s message explaining the decision.


 

 


“Earlier today, we made the tough decision to relieve Tom McMahon of his duties as special teams coordinator. I have a great amount of respect for Tom and the work that he has done in this league, but we have decided to move in a different direction. We are grateful for Tom and his work here with the Raiders and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”



In addition to the issues during the game, McMahon appeared to be having an argument with Carroll on the sidelines, making it seem inevitable that their relationship would fall apart.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/geno-smith-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Who will be new Raiders’ coach of special teams?</h2>



Pete Carroll confirmed that Derius Swinton II will be the new special teams coach for the Raiders. “Derius Swinton II will assume special teams coordinator duties on an interim basis and we are excited to attack the second half of this season with his outstanding intent and purpose.”

NFL News: Raiders confirm Pete Carroll’s coach has been fired after loss against Broncos

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> are having an underwhelming season. The team is not doing great, specifically the offense. After another heartbreaking loss to the Denver Broncos, head coach Pete Carroll was honest on what the team is lacking to become better.



“We’re not scoring enough points,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pete-carroll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carroll</a> said post-game. “That’s about as obvious as you can get… We’ve got to run the ball better… Chip was trying. He was staying with the running game to try to not let them tee off on us. We’ve got to score more.”



Trying to establish the run is one thing, not being able to do so and keep trying to go the route that is clearly not working is another. The Raiders ran 25 run plays for only 74 yards against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Broncos</a>. In fact, they only gained four first downs on run plays.



<h2>Chip Kelly might be on the hot seat</h2>



Chip Kelly was known as a very innovative playcaller back in the day but if this season is the judge of it, then the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> passed him by. Right now, the Raiders rank 30th in the NFL scoring just 15.4 points per game. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/geno-smith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Geno Smith</a> is leading the NFL in interceptions with 12 and has only 11 touchdowns under Kelly’s system.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251107_BUS_522403_chip-kelly-1_b7d67310.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly of the Las Vegas Raiders" class="wp-image-522414"></figure><figcaption>Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly of the Las Vegas Raiders</figcaption></figure>



Now, the lack of offensive line is also worth noting and that will hamper any scheme. Still, being 30th in scoring is not good enough when you consider the talent on the skill positions.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/raiders-make-major-admission-after-trading-jakobi-meyers-to-jaguars"></div>


<h2>Pete Carroll is definitely not happy with Kelly</h2>



Pete Carroll isn’t happy with the offense but this is not the first time that he criticizes Kelly’s work in public. Last time, he criticized the fact that the team didn’t run the ball more. Now after 25 rushing attempts, the criticism goes to the lack of scoring.



The team must adjust heavily but it’s tough to see this season. The Raiders traded away Jakobi Meyers, arguably their best receiver, and now their receiving corp is not great. They brought veteran Tyler Lockett to replace Meyers, but his best years are past him. Also, rookies Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton Jr. have been underwhelming.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> and the Las Vegas Raiders are looking for a quarterback. Albeit for many different reasons, but the latest reports might put both teams in a head to head race to sign the same man to have under center. This comes amid the possible retirement of Aaron Rodgers once the season ends.



According to Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton, both <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a> and Steelers could be looking to get Cardinals’ QB Kyler Murray on their roster. Pet Moton, this trade could involve “multiple future first-rounders.”



While the Steelers don’t have trouble now with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a>, the fact that Rodgers could very well be on the last year of his career might put Pittsburgh on the QB market. For the Raiders, they tried to upgrade their QB play with Geno Smith but his form has been incredibly underwhelming. Therefore, they could go and get a more polished -and younger- signal-caller in Murray.



<h2>Will Murray be an upgrade on the current situations?</h2>



For Pittsburgh, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Murray</a> would bring mobility and speed to the position. However, Rodgers’ ability to extend plays with pocket presence and his arm will be lost. Murray has a decent arm on him, and even if accurate, when compared to Rodgers, it would feel like a slight downgrade.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="580" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251107_BUS_522295_kyler-murray-cardinals-1-1024x580_8dc373c4.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=580" alt="Kyler Murray #1 of the Arizona Cardinals." class="wp-image-422447" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kyler Murray #1 of the Arizona Cardinals.</figcaption></figure>



In the Raiders case, while Murray could use his legs to keep plays alive, the team must solve the offensive line issues first. Murray is an undersized quarterback, so if the Raiders let him get hit, he could easily suffer injuries or make mistakes for being under pressure.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-steelers-wide-receivers-deny-rumors-of-aaron-rodgers-controversy-inside-locker-room"></div>


<h2>Murray is an intriguing option</h2>



A former first overall pick, Murray’s raw talent is not in question. However, his injury history and his focus are arguably his biggest weaknesses. Murray is also small, but he has managed to escape his size issue with his mobility.



Right now, Murray is on IR with a foot injury, so that’s something worth monitoring as well. For both teams, it would mean a drastic change of pace and style on what they currently have.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a> are one of several NFL teams looking to get their season back on track, as their playoff chances continue to shrink. Led by Geno Smith and Brock Bowers, the Raiders travel to Mile High to face the Denver Broncos, kicking off Week 10 with a high-profile Thursday Night Football matchup.



There had been plenty of speculation surrounding the tight end’s availability for this crucial divisional matchup, as he had been listed on the injury report with a toe issue. However, according to several reports, Bowers practiced with his teammates throughout the week, and all signs point to him being available for Pete Carroll on game day.



This is very good news for the Raiders, whose offense had been hit hard in recent days. Jakobi Meyers, who had requested a trade earlier, was sent to the Jacksonville Jaguars last Tuesday at the trade deadline.



Although Mile High is a notoriously tough environment due to the altitude and they will face a Super Bowl contender, many believe the Las Vegas Raiders could pull off a big upset to kick off a new week in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251106_BUS_521784_brock-bowers-1-1024x576_af563f90.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Brock Bowers" class="wp-image-521816" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Brock Bowers #89 of the Las Vegas Raiders.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Bowers’ impact on the Raiders’ offense</h2>



Tight end Brock Bowers is proving his rookie season was no fluke, maintaining his status as a game-changer for the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense in 2025. Through his first five games this season, the dynamic tight end has been a constant threat, hauling in 31 receptions for 352 yards and already scoring 3 receiving touchdowns. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/best-las-vegas-raiders-players-in-history"></div>


While the Raiders’ overall record (2-6) has been disappointing, Bowers’ average of 70.4 receiving yards per game—leading all tight ends in the AFC—underscores his integral role as the most reliable target and key offensive spark plug in Las Vegas.



<h2>What’s next for the Raiders?</h2>



The Las Vegas Raiders are entering a defining stretch of their 2025 campaign, with three high-stakes matchups looming. The pivotal run begins immediately with a crucial AFC West divisional clash tonight on the road against the Denver Broncos. 



Following that intense rivalry game, the Raiders return home to Allegiant Stadium to host two significant contenders: first, a prime-time battle against the NFC’s Dallas Cowboys, and then a tough AFC showdown against the physical Cleveland Browns. 



With the playoffs slipping further away, this three-game sequence against high-caliber opponents is a make-or-break opportunity for the Silver and Black to salvage their season.

The NFL trade deadline was more active than ever, with numerous teams bolstering their rosters while others parted ways with star players. Among the most notable moves was <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jakobi-meyers">Jakobi Meyers</a>’ arrival to the Jacksonville Jaguars, following several seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders.



Replacing one of the most explosive receivers in the league will not be an easy task, and this is something the Raiders’ facilities are well aware of. In fact, many even went so far as to predict that it may take several players to fill the void left by Meyers.



Chip Kelly, a seasoned <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> veteran and current offensive coordinator on Pete Carroll’s staff, spoke to the press about Tuesday’s events and expressed regret over the departure of one of his favorite offensive players.



“It’s got to be multiple guys,” Kelly said, via SI.com. “Jakobi was such an impact player for us, so I wish him the best. He was a great practice player, and I enjoyed coaching him. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251105_BUS_521356_chip-kelly-1024x576_24595d66.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Chip Kelly" class="wp-image-521380" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly of the Las Vegas Raiders.</figcaption></figure>



“He’s a heck of a kid, but we’re going to have to – you got some other receivers, they’re going to have to pick it up, and then you move on. The way you look at it sometimes as we have to approach it. It’s like a player got hurt, he’s out of a game, then what do you do? It’s the next guy’s up.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/raiders-trade-jakobi-meyers-to-jaguars-updated-wr-depth-charts-in-las-vegas-and-jacksonville">Las Vegas Raiders’ wide receiver depth chart</a> has undergone a significant shakeup following the trade of veteran Jakobi Meyers. The new-look group sees young talents Dont’e Thornton Jr. and Tre Tucker elevated to the top of the rotation, setting them up for increased targets.



Veteran Tyler Lockett provides a crucial, experienced presence, while Jack Bech and Alex Bachman round out the receiving options, vying for snaps and looking to prove their value in the post-Meyers era.



<h2>What’s next for the Raiders?</h2>



After a gut-wrenching overtime loss to the Jaguars, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a> face a daunting slate of games that will test the team’s resolve. The Raiders must quickly regroup for a pivotal divisional clash on the road against the Denver Broncos. 



That is immediately followed by two challenging home contests at Allegiant Stadium: first hosting the storied Dallas Cowboys, and then taking on the Cleveland Browns. These next three matchups are critical for the Raiders to stay competitive in the AFC playoff picture.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jakobi-meyers">Jakobi Meyers</a> was one of several NFL players who had publicly requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders, though his ultimate destination remained uncertain. Finally, the wide receiver reached an agreement ahead of the trade deadline, becoming a new key weapon for Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jaguars</a>’ depth chart has been updated following the trade. Since Travis Hunter was placed on IR last week, Meyers joins Brian Thomas Jr. and Dyami Brown as the top three healthy options at wide receiver, with Tim Patrick and Parker Washington running just behind them.



For his part, Geno Smith now has a depleted wide receiver room, as Meyers had been one of his primary targets. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Raiders</a>‘ quarterback will now have to rely on Tre Tucker and Dont’e Thornton Jr. as his top options, with Alex Bachman, Tyler Lockett, and Jack Bech further down the depth chart.



The wide receiver’s urgent desire to leave Pete Carroll’s team drew the attention of several top franchises, including the Steelers and Bills. In the end, it’s the fans in Duval who get to enjoy a new power duo in Jakobi Meyers and Trevor Lawrence.

<h2>Jaguars add talent and firepower to offense</h2>



“ESPN sources: Raiders are trading WR Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks,” announced NFL insider Adam Schefter via his X account. Meyers is now a member of the Jaguars, and many are already excited about the team’s chances of staying on track this season.

Meyers is fresh off a career season with the Raiders in 2024, where he established personal bests with 87 receptions and 1,027 receiving yards. His proven consistency and ability to secure key catches provide a much-needed boost for the Jaguars’ offense as it navigate multiple recent injuries at the wideout position.



He was was also a consistent target for the Raiders’ quarterback Geno Smith through the first nine weeks of the 2025 season, recording 33 receptions for 352 receiving yards, though he has yet to record a receiving touchdown.

Trevor Lawrence and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> haven’t been able to move the chains against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, the offense made it far enough on the field for kicker Cam Little to put the football through the uprights in what’s now the longest field goal in NFL history.



Little has been on the spotlight since the 2025 preseason. The rookie kicker has struggled as of late, but after scoring from 68 yards out on a field goal against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a>, the Jags kicker is sure to re-gain his confidence.



The offense had struggled to move the football downfield all game long. However, with 4 seconds left on the clock and behind the 50-yard line, Liam Coen and the Jaguars had an ace up their sleeves. 



Little trotted onto the field at Allegiant Stadium, determined to make <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> history in one of the newest stadiums in the league. Being in a dome definitely helped, but Little isn’t afraid to let it rip out in the elements, either.

Absolute cannon of a leg<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NFL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NFL</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CamLittle?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CamLittle</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Record?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Record</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GameDay?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GameDay</a> <a href="https://t.co/ayIetYxrjc">pic.twitter.com/ayIetYxrjc</a>— Aggregate Sports (@AggregateSports) <a href="https://twitter.com/AggregateSports/status/1985111123360960829?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 2, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



<h2>Who else?</h2>



If any kicker in the NFL had a chance to break the longest field goal record, it was Little. Dallas Cowboys’ Brandon Aubrey is another strong candidate, but Little had already warned the league during the preseason. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/the-most-unbreakable-records-in-nfl-history"></div>


In Week 1 of the 2025 NFL Preseason—during Little’s first ever appearance on an NFL field—he nailed a 70-yard field goal. Though an unofficial record, it was the longest conversion ever made, and it put the league on notice about the rookie out of Arkansas.



<h2>New record-holder</h2>



With his 68-yard field goal, Little officially dethroned Justin Tucker. The Baltimore Ravens kicker had set the previous NFL record in 2021, drilling a 66-yarder as time expired to lift Baltimore past Detroit, 19-17. While Little now stands alone atop the record books, Tucker still holds the record for the longest game-winning field goal in league history.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> and head coach Pete Carroll need to wake up after a bad first half of the season. Coming off their bye, they play another team that is coming off a rest in the Jacksonville Jaguars. Being the most experienced coach in the NFL, Pete Carroll’s words about Liam Coen are something to really consider.



“He’s got all of the good stuff that’s going around the league,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pete-carroll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carroll</a> said to the media. “The tree [Sean McVay] that he comes from is really the one I respect the most, in terms of innovation and creativity and really good fundamental aspects of their offense.” Those are big words coming out of one of football’s greatest coaches ever.



Sean McVay made a name for himself for being hugely innovator and becoming the youngest <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> coach in his time. Coen is now one of the latest guys from the McVay tree to become a head coach.



<h2>How is Coen doing in the Jags?</h2>



It was a big start for Coen in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jacksonville</a>. The Jags started 4-1 with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs included. However, then they lost consecutive games against the Seahawks and the Rams where the offense scored a combined 19 points. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251101_BUS_519258_liam-coen-1024x576_4d093568.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Head Coach Liam Coen of the Jacksonville Jaguars" class="wp-image-409897" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head Coach Liam Coen of the Jacksonville Jaguars </figcaption></figure>



However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liam-coen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coen</a> has shown promise and character fit enough to become a very good head coach. Also, he has revived the career of running back Travis Etienne. Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Lawrence</a> is still not showing his potential but at least the team is winning.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/raiders-get-positive-update-on-maxx-crosby-ahead-of-week-9-vs-jaguars-amid-trade-rumors"></div>


<h2>What are other head coaches that come from the McVay tree?</h2>



Three other McVay’s offensive assistants are current head coaches in the NFL. Green Bay’s Matt LaFleur and Minnesota’s Kevin O’Connell are doing terrific jobs in their respective teams. Not only that, both could be considered top 10 head coaches in the league.



However, the other is Zac Taylor of the Cincinnati Bengals. The difference is that Taylor is in the hot seat and has been questioned plentily. Having said that, Taylor is the only one that has gone to a Super Bowl, though in a losing effort.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> received an update on defensive end Maxx Crosby as they prepare for the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This comes after an injury, but also in the middle of huge trade rumors.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/maxx-crosby" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Maxx Crosby</a> will play on Sunday against the Jaguars, as said by Pete Carroll, Raiders’ head coach. Crosby was dealing with a back injury that he suffered in Week 7.



Crosby has four sacks, an interception and a forced fumble this season. He is easily one of the best pass rushers in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Not only that, but he is by far and away the best defensive player on the Raiders.



<h2>The offense also needs to step up</h2>



Having Crosby back will be good for the defense. However, none of that matters if the offense can’t keep up. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/geno-smith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Geno Smith</a> is in serious jeopardy as the Raiders’ starting quarterback. His season has been very underwhelming.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518859_geno-smith-1-1024x576_f5e3d5cc.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Geno Smith #7 of the Las Vegas Raiders" class="wp-image-473581" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Geno Smith #7 of the Las Vegas Raiders</figcaption></figure>



Smith has a 2-5 record with the Raiders and has thrown for 1,417 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He has a negative TD/INT ratio and has arguably been one of the most disappointing players this season. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/raiders-reportedly-make-final-decision-on-maxx-crosby-amid-cowboys-trade-interest"></div>


<h2>The Raiders’ season is hanging by a thread</h2>



The expectations for this team was very high. Many NFL analysts even put them as a playoff team. However, both sides of the ball have been bad. They are the 23rd-ranked scoring defense.



The Raiders also have the second-worst scoring offense in the league. It’s unfathomable to think that the Raiders have players like running back Ashton Jeanty, Jakobi Meyers, and Brock Bowers to be such a bad offense.
