Raiders' defense ties another record streak for points allowed

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.

This record ties them with the 2020 Detroit Lions, who had a coaching change midway through the season and finished 5-11.The 2020 Jacksonville Jaguars also went through a six-game stretch of surrendering 30 points or more. The Jaguars finished the season at 1-15, earning them the opportunity to select Trevor Lawrence as the top overall pick in the 2021 Draft.Meanwhile, the 1984 Minnesota Vikings have also allowed at least 30 points in six straight games. The Vikings finished their campaign at 3-13, leading the franchise to re-hire legendary coach Bud Grant.Finally, the 1968 Denver Broncos are in the same category. They finished with a 5-9 record under general manager and head coach Lou Saban.
