Game summaries Week 1: vs. Denver Broncos Just days before the game, the Raiders released wide receiver
Antonio Brown, who was acquired via trade prior to the season, stemming from conduct detrimental to the team, including a heated argument with general manager
Mike Mayock. However, the Raiders played well without Brown, as quarterback
Derek Carr, wide receiver
Tyrell Williams, and rookie running back
Josh Jacobs all had strong performances, with the defense stifling Broncos quarterback
Joe Flacco for much of the game. With a statement win, the Raiders opened their final season in Oakland at 1–0.
Week 2: vs. Kansas City Chiefs Against traditional rival Kansas City, Oakland took a 10–0 lead in the first quarter, but the Chiefs stormed back with four touchdown passes from quarterback
Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter. Despite the Chiefs being hampered by injuries to key offensive players such as Mahomes,
Damien Williams and
LeSean McCoy in the second half, the Raiders could not take advantage as Derek Carr threw two interceptions in the third quarter, and the offense was forced to punt on its final two possessions of the game. Oakland fell to 1–1 with the loss. This was the final football game at the Coliseum with the baseball diamond present.
Week 3: at Minnesota Vikings Week 4: at Indianapolis Colts After two consecutive losses, Oakland surprised the Colts by taking a 21–10 halftime lead. Though the Colts managed to cut the Raiders' lead to seven by the fourth quarter, Colts quarterback
Jacoby Brissett threw a crucial pick-six to Raiders safety
Erik Harris just before the two-minute warning, effectively putting the game away for Oakland. With the win, the Raiders improved to 2–2. Linebacker
Vontaze Burfict was ejected from the game and later suspended the rest of the season for initiating two helmet-to-helmet hits, including one on Colts tight end
Jack Doyle.
Week 5: vs. Chicago Bears NFL London Games The Raiders headed off to England for an international game against the Bears and former Raiders linebacker
Khalil Mack, who was traded to Chicago prior to the
previous season. Like the previous week, Oakland surged to an early lead, this time behind strong play from Josh Jacobs. Chicago took the lead in the third quarter with 21 unanswered points, but the Raiders eventually answered with a rushing touchdown from Jacobs with just under two minutes left in the game. Oakland's defense intercepted Bears quarterback
Chase Daniel on the next drive, then snuffed out a final comeback attempt in the final seconds of the game. With the win, Oakland entered its bye week at 3–2.
Week 7: at Green Bay Packers Week 8: at Houston Texans Week 9: vs. Detroit Lions Week 10: vs. Los Angeles Chargers With the win, the Raiders improved on their 4–12 record from the previous season.
Week 11: vs. Cincinnati Bengals The win over the Bengals marked the final win for the Raiders in Oakland, as the Raiders lost their last 2 games at the Coliseum.
Week 12: at New York Jets Week 13: at Kansas City Chiefs Week 14: vs. Tennessee Titans Week 15: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Despite holding a 16–6 lead late in the fourth quarter, Oakland allowed a touchdown pass from Jaguars quarterback
Gardner Minshew to
Chris Conley, then failed to run out the clock and missed the subsequent field goal attempt. Jacksonville would capitalize on the ensuing drive as Minshew and Conley connected again for a game-winning touchdown. This was the Raiders' final game played in Oakland before
relocating to Las Vegas for the
2020 season. Fans booed the team as they exited the field for the last time. With their fourth straight loss, the Raiders fell to 6–8, but remained in the playoff hunt as the
Pittsburgh Steelers would lose later that night.
Week 16: at Los Angeles Chargers This was the Chargers' final home game at
Dignity Health Sports Park before moving into their
new stadium in the
2020 season. This was also the last time the Raiders and Chargers faced each other—home or away—prior to the
Raiders' relocation to Las Vegas in 2020. As a result, this was the last meeting against the two rivals as California-based franchises. This also turned out to be the Raiders final win as the "Oakland Raiders". With the win, the Raiders snapped their 4-game losing streak, improving to 7–8 and keeping their slim playoff hopes alive.
