The Las Vegas Raiders have a clear goal heading into the 2024 season: win the AFC West.
They only reached the playoffs twice since making the Super Bowl in 2002. Both in the 2016 and 2021 seasons, the Raiders were wild card teams, losing in the Wild Card round on both occasions. 2002 was the last time the Raiders even won their division.Going into the 2024 season, most think the division will have to go through the Chiefs again. But not the Raiders. The Raiders split the season series last year against the Chiefs, shocking them on Christmas Day at Arrowhead.
"I am not a Raider Fan, but so many of your fan base because of the last 20 years acts like you are a bridesmaid, never a bride," Carpenter said. "You are the freaking Raiders. Teams are supposed to be afraid of you. Not, 'They signed Patrick Mahomes to 10 more years and Andy Reid for six, Hondo.' Win, win, go up to Arrowhead and pop them in the face again. Win.
"It is remembering you are the Raiders. ... You are the Raiders. You are the Las freaking Vegas Raiders. The mentality of this team, now you have AP, is : other teams do not want to play us. Did you hear Andy Reid talking about the Raiders smacked them around on Christmas Day? They beat them up. The Raiders are in their head."
