The Las Vegas Raiders are facing a challenging second half of the season with a disappointing 2-7 record, effectively eliminating them from playoff contention. Analysts suggest that the team may focus on rebuilding for the future, particularly in evaluating quarterback options like Desmond Ridder and Aidan O'Connell.

Despite the bleak outlook, players like Maxx Crosby are determined to play spoiler against playoff-bound teams, embracing the role of the underdog as they aim for a few wins before the bye week.
