# 2022 Las Vegas Raiders season

The 2022 season was the Las Vegas Raiders' 53rd season in the National Football League (NFL), their 63rd overall, their third in Las Vegas and their first under the head coach/general manager tandem of Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler.
The Raiders started the season with a 2–7 record on their way to a disappointing 6–11 record, missing the playoffs. The Raiders failed to improve on their 10–7 record from the previous season and had their first losing season since 2019. Throughout the season, the Raiders had suffered several blown leads, which included giving up leads by at least 17 points in three games. Nine of their 11 losses were all within one-possession. They became the first team in NFL history to lose five or more times in a season while leading by double-digits in the second half.

## Offseason
### Front office changes

On January 17, the team announced that general manager Mike Mayock had been fired after three years with the team. On January 30, the Raiders named longtime New England Patriots' executive Dave Ziegler as their new general manager. On May 6, Raiders' owner Mark Davis announced that team president Dan Ventrelle was no longer with the organization. Following this, Ventrelle alleged that Raiders' owner Mark Davis created a hostile work environment, and once the former president acknowledged this, he was fired. Around May 21, Marcel Reece, already senior advisor and then chief people officer, became team senior vice president, chief of staff. On July 7, the team announced Sandra Douglass Morgan as new president. Morgan is the first black woman in NFL history to assume this role.

### Coaching changes

The Raiders next traveled to Kansas City to face the Chiefs on Monday Night Football. The Raiders blew a 17–0 lead and lost to the Chiefs, 30–29. The Raiders took the lead early in the first quarter when Derek Carr hit Davante Adams on a 58-yard touchdown pass. Following a missed field goal by the Chiefs, Josh Jacobs scored on a one-yard run to give the Raiders a 14–0 lead early in the second quarter. A Daniel Carlson field goal pushed the lead to 17 before Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs on a six play, 43-yard drive to narrow the lead to 17–7. Carlson's second field goal of the game with 17 seconds left in the half pushed the lead to 20–7. However, Mahomes quickly put the Chiefs in field goal position and Matthew Wright's 59-yard field goal as the half ended left the Raiders ahead 20–10 at the half. The Chiefs narrowed the lead to three as Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for his second touchdown in the game on the first drive of the second half. Following a punt, Mahomes hit Kelce again to give KC the 24–20 lead. Carlson's field goal early in the fourth quarter left the Raiders trailing by one point. Kelce's fourth touchdown catch of the game and a missed two-point conversion left Vegas trailing 30–23 with seven minutes left. Carr answered the score, hitting Adams again on a 48-yard touchdown pass to bring the Raiders within a point with 4:27 remaining. Electing to try for two to take the lead, Jacobs was stuffed as the conversion failed. Still trailing by one, the Raiders forced the Chiefs to punt with 2:29 left. Vegas was able to move to midfield, but time ran out as the Raiders lost 30–29. Jacobs ran for 154 yards in the loss.

After a bye week, the Raiders looked to turn around their season as they faced the Texans in Las Vegas. In a must-win game for both teams, Las Vegas would come out on top. The Raiders scored the only points of the first quarter by virtue of a 50-yard field goal by Daniel Carlson, only to let the Texans score 10 unanswered points to swipe the lead from them in the second quarter, via a 13-yard touchdown pass from Davis Mills to Chris Moore, and a 55-yard field goal from Ka'imi Fairbairn. A 26-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr to Mack Hollins tied the game at 10 at the half. The lead seesawed for the whole third quarter. To open the second half, Ka'imi Fairbairn reclaimed the Texans' lead on a 35-yard field goal, making the score 13-10 in favor of them. The Raiders swiped the lead back with a 4-yard touchdown run from Josh Jacobs to put Vegas up 17-13. Davis Mills connected with Phillip Dorsett for a 25-yard touchdown pass, putting the Texans up 20-17, and once again swiping the lead from the Raiders. However, in the fourth quarter, it was all Raiders, as they scored the final 21 points, largely courtesy of Josh Jacobs, who found the end zone twice more. He ran in a second touchdown from 7 yards out to put the Raiders up, 24-20, and with 7:06 left on the clock, Jacobs would run in his third and last touchdown of the day, from 15 yards out, to give the Raiders a 31-20 lead. The epilogue of the game came when Duron Harmon recorded a pick six off of Mills, reaching the final score of 38–20, and giving the Raiders just what they needed.
With the win, the Raiders improved to 2–4. Overall, Josh Jacobs ran for 143 yards on 20 attempts and 3 touchdowns, averaging 7.2 yards per carry in the win.

Traveling to face the Saints in New Orleans, the Raiders' offense struggled mightily, punting on their first three possessions. Meanwhile, the Saints, led by backup quarterback Andy Dalton, took a 7–0 lead on an Alvin Kamara three-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter. The Raiders attempted a fake punt on their first possession of the second quarter which failed and gave the Saints the ball in Raiders' territory. A 37-yard field goal by Wil Lutz made it 10–0. Following an interception of a Derek Carr pass on the ensuing possession, the Saints moved the lead to 17 on a touchdown pass from Dalton to Kamara. The Raider offense punted on its only other possession of the first half and a missed field goal by Lutz as the half ended left the Raiders behind 17–0 at halftime. The second half was no different than the first for the Raiders as they were forced to punt before Dalton again hit Kamara for a touchdown pass to extend the lead to 24. Las Vegas was forced to punt on their next two possessions and although the Saints failed to score again, the Raiders turned to backups for their final possession. They were shut out 24–0 in the game and fell to 2–5 on the season.

The Raiders returned home to face the Colts and new head coach Jeff Saturday. The Raider offense continued to struggle, failing to score on its first four possessions. A Matt Ryan one-yard run gave the Colts 7–0 lead late in the first quarter. A Colts' field goal pushed the lead to 10 early in the second quarter. With less than two minutes left in the half, Derek Car hit Foster Moreau for a four-yard touchdown pass to narrow the lead to three. However, the Vegas defense allowed the Colts to push the ball to the Raider 30 with three seconds left in the half. A field goal pushed the Colts' lead to 13–7 at the half. After a missed field goal by Indianapolis to start the second half, Josh Jacobs scored on a one-yard run to give the Raiders their first lead, 14–13. However, on the first play of the ensuing possession, Jonathan Taylor scored on a 66-yard run to restore the Colts' lead. A failed two-point conversion left the score at 19–14. Carr next hit Davante Adams on 48-yard touchdown pass to take a 20–19 lead after the failed two-point conversion. Following punts by both teams, Matt Ryan hit Parris Campbell on a 35-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion failed again, leaving the lead 25–20. Vegas was able to move deep into Indy territory, but the drive stalled at the Colts' 16 and Derek Carr's fourth down pass fell incomplete with 47 second left as the Raiders lost again, 25–20.

The Raiders returned to the road to face division foe, Denver, one of only two teams the Raiders had beat on the season. The Broncos scored first on the second possession of the game on a one-yard run by former Raider Latavius Murray. Daniel Carlson missed his first field goal of the season on Vegas' next possession and a Brandon McManus field goal pushed the Denver lead to 10. The Raiders finally got on the board when Derek Carr hit Davante Adams for a 31-yard touchdown pass to bring the score to 10–7 with less than six minutes left in the half. The Broncos moved into Raider territory as the half drew to a close, but the Raiders were able to force Denver to settle for a 25-yard field goal that was blocked by Maxx Crosby. A Carlson field goal started the scoring in the second half and moved the score to 10–10. Neither offense could muster any more points in the third quarter. McManus kicked another field goal, this time from 52 yards out to move the score to 13–10. Carlson added a 57-yard field goal with 7:11 remaining in the fourth quarter to tie the game. The Broncos retook the lead four minutes later with 48-yard field goal to move the lead to 16–13. After exchanging punts, the Raiders moved to the Denver seven, but were forced to settle for a field goal with 16 seconds left to tie the game. As the game moved to overtime, the Raiders won the toss and took the ball. On the third play of overtime, Carr threw to a wide open Davante Adams for 35-yard touchdown to end the game at 22–16. The win moved the Raiders to 3–7 on the season.

After a comeback win over Russell Wilson's current team, the Broncos, the Las Vegas Raiders travelled to Lumen Field to play his former team, the Seattle Seahawks. Las Vegas began the game very poorly, with Derek Carr already getting intercepted on only the first play. This set up a 12-yard touchdown run by Kenneth Walker, giving the Seahawks a 7-0 lead in the first 28 seconds. Just over 5 minutes later, Carr hit Ameer Abdullah with an 18-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 7. However, on the Raiders' 3rd drive, he would throw another interception, which the Seahawks took a 10-7 lead off of by virtue of a 24-yard field goal from Jason Myers as the first quarter ended. From that point on, Derek Carr and the Raiders would shape up.
In the second quarter, Jason Meyers kicked a 34-yard field goal to bring the Seahawks' lead up to 13-7. Carr hit Mack Hollins with a 36-yard touchdown pass to swipe the Seahawks' lead and put the Raiders up, 14-13. After an interception by Geno Smith, Josh Jacobs ran for a 30-yard touchdown to bring the Raiders' lead up to 21-13. The Seahawks came within one point when Smith hit Tyler Lockett with a 35-yard touchdown pass. At the half, a 36-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson brought the Raiders' lead up to four points.
In the third quarter, Kenneth Walker would run in a second touchdown from 14 yards out to swipe the lead from the Raiders and put the Seahawks up, 27-24, and then, by virtue of Daniel Carlson kicking a 25-yard field goal, the Raiders tied the game at 27.
In the fourth quarter, Geno Smith would keep on shining, hitting Travis Homer with an 18-yard touchdown pass, putting the Seahawks up 34-27 with 5:37 left in regulation. However, the Raiders once again tied the game, this time, at 34, when Derek Carr hit Foster Moreau with a 5-yard touchdown pass. With neither team doing anything for the last 1:54 in regulation, it was time for overtime.
40 seconds into overtime, Josh Jacobs ripped off a walk-off 86-yard touchdown run to put the Raiders up, 40-34, drawing the game to a close and giving the Raiders their first win in Seattle since 1998, when they were based in Oakland, and the Seahawks were division mates with the Raiders.
With the upset win, the Raiders improved to 4-7. Josh Jacobs ran for 229 yards on 33 attempts for 2 touchdowns, including the touchdown that won the game for the Raiders, and averaged 6.9 yards per carry.

After a chilling overtime win against the Seahawks, the Raiders returned home for a rematch with one of their AFC West rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers. Las Vegas would overcome their second 10-point deficit in three games. Just like the previous game, Las Vegas began the game very poorly, with Bryce Callahan returning a Derek Carr interception for a score not even 10 minutes into the game, giving the Chargers a 7-0 lead.
In the second quarter, the game worsened for the Raiders when Cameron Dicker booted a 37-yard field goal to put them in a 10-0 hole. Josh Jacobs, though, would trim the Raiders' deficit to three points with a 20-yard touchdown run, and would eventually be accompanied by a 55-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson to tie the game at 10, only for the Chargers to break the tie with a 34-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker, putting them up, 13-10 at the half.
Things significantly turned around for the Raiders in the second half, largely due to Derek Carr hitting Davante Adams with two consecutive touchdown passes in the third quarter, from 31 yards and 45 yards, respectively, and putting the Raiders up, 24-13. They kept Justin Herbert in check, allowing the Bolts to score only six points on the first eight drives.
In the fourth quarter, a 25-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson brought the Raiders' lead to 27-13. Herbert hit Keenan Allen with a 35-yard touchdown pass on 4th down to make it a 27-20 game with 8:34 left, which would end up being the final score. Just as the Chargers appeared likely to come back to life, since they got the ball to Las Vegas' side of the field, they could not do anything, as their final drive ended on a turnover on downs.
With the upset win, the Raiders improved to 5–7. Davante Adams caught 8 passes for 177 yards and 2 touchdowns in the win.

Despite almost squandering a 17–3 lead, the Raiders tied the game at 24 with a late controversial touchdown pass from Derek Carr to Keelan Cole, then won due to a bizarre blunder at the end of regulation by the Patriots. As New England quarterback Mac Jones handed the ball off to running back Rhamondre Stevenson, presumably to run out the clock and force overtime, Stevenson picked up 23 yards from the New England 44-yard-line to the Las Vegas 32-yard-line as the Raiders were in prevent defense. With Raiders safety Duron Harmon closing in, Stevenson pitched the ball to Patriots receiver Jakobi Meyers, who ran back to the 40-yard-line before throwing the ball back towards Mac Jones' vicinity, unaware that Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones was guarding him. The latter intercepted the ball and stiff-armed the former to the ground before running the ball back to the New England endzone for the Raiders' improbable game-winning touchdown, which was later nicknamed the "Vagary in Vegas" by NFL.com, "Col-lateral damage" by the Lowell Sun, and the "Lunatic Lateral" by Sports Illustrated.
With the win, the Raiders defeated the Patriots for the first time since 2002, when the team was based in Oakland, and improved to 6–8.

After a bizarre win over the New England Patriots, the Las Vegas Raiders travelled to Acrisure Stadium on Christmas Eve to face one of their longtime rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. This game was meant to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, one of the most famous plays in American football, where the Steelers beat the then-Oakland Raiders in the 1972 playoffs.
The Raiders drew first blood, with Derek Carr hitting Hunter Renfrow with a 14-yard touchdown pass to take a 7-0 lead. The Steelers would try a 43-yard field goal and failed; the Raiders scored the only points of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Chris Boswell booted a 44-yard field goal to trim the Raiders' lead to four points. However, Vegas pushed their lead back up to seven points with a 40-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson.
In the second half, though, things took a turn in the wrong direction for Vegas, with Derek Carr getting intercepted on two consecutive drives. After the first interception, the Steelers tried a field goal from 52 yards and missed it. No points were scored in the third quarter.
However, just as the Raiders appeared likely to give the Steelers their first losing season in 19 years, it was all Steelers in the fourth quarter, as they scored the final 10 points. Chris Boswell booted a 40-yard field goal to trim the Raiders' lead to 4 points. Kenny Pickett would then hit George Pickens with a 14-yard touchdown pass with less than a minute left to reach the final score of 13–10 in favor of Pittsburgh.
Derek Carr tried to resuscitate the Raiders with less than 40 seconds left and could not succeed at that; he got intercepted, and his time in Las Vegas came to an end.
With the loss, the Raiders fell to 6–9, and were sent to their first losing season since 2019 when they were based in Oakland.
Darren Waller caught 4 passes for 58 yards in the loss.
