The Raiders came up short against the Houston Texans — but this loss felt different.
In this episode of the Silver & Black Sports Network Podcast, Jesse Merrick breaks down Las Vegas’ close loss to the Texans, focusing on the encouraging signs that may finally point toward real building blocks for the future. From rookie running back Ashton Jeanty's performance to a defense that found ways to challenge C.J. Stroud, Jesse explains what actually worked — and why this game shouldn’t be lumped in with the rest of the season’s blowouts.
The episode also dives into offensive approach, defensive execution, and what this performance means as the Raiders inch closer to the draft. Jesse discusses where the roster still falls short, why improvement up front remains critical, and how prospects like Dante Moore could factor into the team’s long-term plans.
If you’re looking for clear-eyed analysis, not empty optimism — and want to understand what the Raiders can actually build on — this postgame reaction is for you.
