The Las Vegas Raiders picked up a big win Sunday against rival the Denver Broncos. A one-point win may not seem like much, but get this: Since 2002, teams winning their first game of the NFL season have a 53% chance of making the playoffs. The odds go down to 25% after a Week 1 loss.
Head coach Josh McDaniels says the win wasn’t perfect, but it’s a good starting point for the season.
