Gut Punch in OT: The Jags Loss & What's Next

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 18:34:50 GMT

This one is a gut-punch. We're breaking down the Las Vegas Raiders' agonising 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars, starting with the biggest decision of the game: Pete Carroll's aggressive "Always Compete" call to go for two and the win. Was it the right move or a reckless gamble?

While the offense finally found its rhythm, the defense regressed as the game went on—can this team win with that trend? We'll also highlight the bright spots, including Devin White's All-Pro level season and a fantastic first start for Darrien Porter.

The future is here, and it's called 12 personnel. We explain the concept and get hyped about the tandem of Brock Bowers (12 catches, 3 TDs!) and Ashton Jeanty, who look like the cornerstones of the offense for years to come.

Plus, we put OC Chip Kelly under the microscope. Is the criticism of the NFL's highest-paid coordinator fair when the O-line and QB play are inconsistent? We also analyse the blockbuster Jakobi Meyers trade, what the haul signifies for Spytek's philosophy, and who steps up in his place.

Finally, we take a quick spin around the AFC West before giving you a full preview and our keys to victory for the massive Thursday Night Football divisional showdown against the Denver Broncos.
