Raiders Suffer Fourth Consecutive Loss Against Rams

The Las Vegas Raiders experienced their fourth consecutive loss on Sunday, losing 35-21 to the Los Angeles Rams at Allegiant Stadium. After starting the season with three wins, the Raiders now hold a record of 3-4, falling below .500 for the first time in 2026.

Defensive end Maxx Crosby highlighted the team's need for immediate improvement, noting issues with inconsistent performance and a slow start in the second half of recent games. The Raiders struggled on third downs, converting only 3 of 14 attempts, while the Rams scored touchdowns on all five of their red-zone opportunities. Los Angeles dominated the ground game, rushing for 199 yards, with Kyren Williams and Blake Corum contributing significantly.

Crosby dismissed any suggestions of internal blame, urging teammates to focus on self-improvement. He acknowledged that the defense's inability to stop the run was a major factor in the loss. The Raiders are set to face the New York Jets in Week 8, who currently have a record of 2-5.
