The Las Vegas Raiders are still in contention for a playoff spot midway through the 2026 NFL regular season. However, giving up many points won’t help their cause.Their Week 9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers marked the record-tying sixth consecutive game in which the Raiders have surrendered at least 30 points. That stretch includes their Week 8 victory over the New York Jets, which scored 5 fewer points than the Raiders’ 38.This unfortunate streak of defensive futility puts them on par with some of the worst teams in league history.
#Raiders have allowed 30+ points in 6 straight games tying the longest streak in 1 season. Others:
