The Las Vegas Raiders (3-12) head to New Orleans Sunday to face the Saints (4-11) in their penultimate game of the 2024 NFL season.
Last Sunday the Raiders broke their ten-game losing streak to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars and get their third win of the season. Can they somehow manage to make it two in a row and close out the season on a high note?
The Saints will be without QB Derek Carr, which means he will miss out on his first — and possibly only — opportunity to face his former team.
Expected to start once again for the Saints is rookie Spencer Rattler who is 0-4 in his young career.
