Las Vegas Raiders drop to 25th in NFL power rankings after four straight losses

Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders have fallen to No. 25 in NFL power rankings after losing four consecutive games, dropping their record to 3-4. Their latest defeat came against the Los Angeles Rams, where they lost 35-21, exposing issues beyond just quarterback Kirk Cousins' performance. Cousins has thrown 16 touchdown passes this season, leading the league, but the offense has struggled to maintain momentum. Rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, has seen limited action and calls for him to start could grow if the losing streak continues. The Raiders face the New York Jets next, presenting an opportunity to end their slide.
