Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll didn’t hold back after Daniel Carlson’s costly miss vs. the Denver Broncos on TNF.

The Las Vegas Raiders suffered a setback during the team's seventh loss of the season against the Denver Broncos on Thursday.

Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs), Justin Herbert (Chargers) and Bo Nix (Broncos) are playing at a high level, each ranking within the top 10 in the league in passing yards. Herbert is second in touchdown passes (18). Nix and Mahomes are tied for third with 17.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith's injury is a minor one, but the team could lose OL Jackson Powers-Jackson for 'a while' due to injury.

Barring a dramatic turnaround, the Raiders are heading toward another woeful finish, and some awkward questions.

Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr., who suffered a broken leg in a preseason scrimmage at Allegiant Stadium, is expected to play Thursday against the Broncos.

Although the Raiders dropped a 30-29 heartbreaker to the Jaguars, the team’s performance in the loss suggests Pete Carroll’s squad is heading in the right direction.

The Raiders fell to 2-6 with Sunday's overtime loss to the Jaguars and having that record at the trade deadline usually lands teams on the list of prospective sellers.
