The Las Vegas Raiders played the last time this season in front of Raider Nation. The Raiders hosted their longtime AFC West rival, the Los Angeles Chargers at Allegiant Stadium in Week 18.

The season did not go as expected for the Silver and Black. Different factors out of their control led to another bad season. The biggest factor was the injuries to key players. Still, no excuses were ever made by head coach Antonio Pierce and the players.

The team was coming off conservative wins for the first time all season and was looking for a third straight win to end the season and take momentum into the offseason.

The Raiders defense started strong in the first quarter. They only allowed a field goal. The offense started slow but were able to get a field after a long drive.

Since Luke Getsy was let go, Aidan O'Connell's play has built off last season with vastly improved play. The conversation could be very different today if Scott Turner had been OC all offseason. In my opinion, the Getsy hire was catastrophic for this organization.

@Raiders you have your QB… now it’s time to build around him!!!

Aidan O'Connell got it going for the offense to start the second quarter. He drove the offense down the field and found wide receiver Jakobi Meyers for the first touchdown of the game. Raiders took an early 10-3 lead.

.@Raiders take the lead! AOC connects with Meyers for 6️⃣

Do the raiders even care about history? #feedbowers

TD Raiders: Aidan O'Connell 25 yards to Jakobi Meyers for the score. LV has a 10-3 lead with 13:04 left in the second quarter.

Shocking Raiders take 7 point lead

Jakobi one of my fav Raiders of my lifetime

there'd be few things cooler and more fun in life than to call the Raiders offensive plays with my dad.

Scott and Norv living the life!

Late in the second quarter things turned for the Raiders. O'Connell threw an interception in Raiders territory. The Chargers took full advantage and scored a touchdown before the half to take a seven point lead. Another mistake that can prove costly for the Silver and Black in this game.

Untimely mistake: In the final minute of the half, Aidan O’Connell throws his fourth INT of the season and his first since Dec. 8.

Set up at the #Raiders’ 30, Chargers turn it into a TD and 2PT to take a 17-10 halftime lead. @KTNV pic.twitter.com/uNRWmaUA1V

From the INT to the 2-point conversion, that was some HORRIBLE football

— Hondo Carpenter (@HondoCarpenter) January 5, 2025

Being fair means calling them as you see them. That last series, the INT, and the subsequent 8 LAC points rest on Aidan O'Connell. He has earned the right to compete to become QB1, but until you KNOW he is or ISN'T, you must keep searching.

AP has 30 minutes left to show Mark Davis why he should be head coach next year.

Raiders gonna raider smh

The Raiders just became my least favorite team in the NFL

The third quarter saw both teams trade field goals. The Raiders defense had a nice goal line stance that forced the Chargers to settle for three. The defense is keeping the offense in the game. The offense needs to complete drives with touchdowns heading into the final quarter of the season.

End of the third quarter. #Chargers 20, #Raiders 13.

Teams trade field goals as the Raiders try and keep the game in striking distance. They will have to find a way to keep Justin Herbert in check for the final frame. #LACvsLV

Bowers in a Jon Gruden offense would be wild #RaiderNation #Raiders https://t.co/WWTZHYCA2C

If the Raiders Defense can't stop the Chargers Offense. Start packing our bags for Baltimore. 20-13 Chargers. Beginning of the 4th Qtr. 🏈

— Anthony S. (@snoopydawg44us) January 5, 2025

The Chargers finally cracked the Raiders defense down to start the fourth. After a big run for the Chargers, they punched it in for a touchdown.

Well.... the Chargers are starting to pull away. It is what it is. At least the Raiders didn't completely give up. That's all I asked for this season really.

Raiders trash

— Reginald Lewis Billi III, JD 🇺🇸 (@realtoddbillion) January 5, 2025

That should do it. Raiders will likely lose this game and drop to 4-13 on the year. Potential coaching reset and Crosby trade rumors incoming this offseason. Could be a dark time for #RaiderNation between now and Summer.

— Chris☠️🏴‍☠️ (@White_Guyyy27) January 5, 2025

After bending but not breaking in the 1st half, the #Raiders defense is breaking in the 2nd.

Chargers have 2 TDs on 2 drives to go up 27-13

— Silver & Black Pride (@SilverBlakPride) January 5, 2025

The Raiders defense did not get much help from the offense in the second half. The Raiders played hard as always but cannot overcome a good Chargers team. The Raiders end the season with a 4-13 record.

The Silver and Black will have many interesting moves to make in the offseason. And the biggest one will be if Pierce will be back in Las Vegas next season.

Fire all the coaches....just flat out the worst in history

— R8RS..... (@r8derfan33) January 6, 2025

0-6 in the AFC west- at least next year @Raiders get the 4 th place strength of schedule.

— Guy Mazzone (@RaiderGuy50) January 6, 2025

The @Raiders finish the season with a 4-13 record.

The three other teams in their division are headed to the playoffs.

— Vincent Bonsignore (@VinnyBonsignore) January 6, 2025

Welp @Raiders can we call this rock bottom?! Only one way to go from here right?! 😐
