Sunday the Raiders took their act to England. And they looked worse than they did in 2014 when they came here winless. They lost 27-3 to the Seahawks, fell to 1-5, and looked like the worst team in football in the process. That’s right where the power rankings showed them; dead last.

The Raiders are so bad, not even an elite pass rusher could save them. Oakland was not facing the kind of Seahawks defense that strikes fear in the NFC West -- but Derek Carr wasn't pitching strikes on the London pitch, and he often didn't have time to throw them, anyway. I thought that, with Raiders RB Marshawn Lynch going Beast Mode against his former team, maybe this would be the sneaky upset of the week. Or not. This team is in really rough shape. Agree with this sentiment.

Playoff chances: 0.1 percent chance. Only the Cardinals have a lower chance to reach the postseason according to FPI. Oakland has pressured the opposing quarterback on only 20.3 percent of its dropbacks, which would be the lowest rate of any defense since 2012. -- Xie

It appears that Oakland is the worst team in the league (at the moment) as just about everything is going wrong and Jon Gruden isn’t learning from his mistakes.

Only one publication doesn’t have the Raiders as the worst team in football. That’s your outlier. This is what rock bottom looks like.
