| 10/15/26 | Why Ashton Jeanty’s Numbers Are Really an Offensive Line Story | Raiders vs. Bills Preview | Klint Kubiak ended the debate over Ashton Jeanty’s status, but Scott argues the Raiders’ last-ranked run game has far more to do with the offensive line than with their running back.

| 10/6/26 | Raiders Are a Real Wild Card Contender, But Two Problems Remain | The Raiders lost 30-27 to the Chiefs, but Scott Gulbransen makes the case that they're a real AFC wild card contender, with Kirk Cousins tied for the NFL lead in touchdown passes and the offense ranked top 10 in scoring. He also breaks down the two things holding them back: an offensive line that ranks last in run blocking and a wide receiver room with no deep threat. | 30m 44s | ||||||
