Changes are coming to the Las Vegas Raiders coaching staff after the team suffered its fifth consecutive defeat on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

With the Raiders' offense struggling of late, the team announced Sunday evening that offensive coordinator Luke Getsy has been fired, in addition to quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello and offensive line coach James Cregg.

Las Vegas has scored no more than 24 points in a single game throughout the duration of their losing streak. They've averaged 18 points during their last five games, and just 18.6 points throughout the season.

With Aidan O'Connell on IR with a hand injury, Gardner Minshew started Sunday's game but was later benched in favor of the recently acquired Desmond Ridder. Minshew completed 10 of 17 passes for 124 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions, while Ridder went 11-for-16 for 74 yards and a touchdown in relief.

Getsy was in his first year with the Raiders, having served the previous two seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears.

Antonio Pierce's first full season at the helm hasn't gone to plan. After a 2–2 start, the Raiders have slipped to 2–7. With a bye week looming, they opted to make a change at offensive coordinator in hopes a new perspective could yield better results on that side of the football.
