Oakland Raiders 2019 schedule release: Games, dates and times
By Brad Weiss
The Oakland Raiders have spent the offseason revamping their roster, and here is a look at what their schedule is going to be for the 2019 NFL season.
Heading into the 2019 offseason, the Oakland Raiders knew they had a ton of work to do in terms of their roster. Bringing in a new general manager in Mike Mayock, who was getting his first crack at the job at the NFL level, there were plenty of question marks when the new league year began.
Now, with a week to go before the 2019 NFL Draft, the Raiders have a lot more answers than questions, as they have revamped the roster in a big way this offseason. The first big move came when they traded for Antonio Brown, arguably the best wide receiver in football, and they have not stopped since.
Here is who Oakland will be playing this year on its home and away schedules:
Week 1: vs. Denver Broncos (Mon.)
Week 2: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Week 3: at Minnesota Vikings
Week 4: at Indianapolis Colts
Week 5: vs. Chicago Bears (London)
Week 6: BYE
Week 7: at Green Bay Packers
Week 8: at Houston Texans
Week 9: vs. Detroit Lions
Week 10: vs. Los Angeles Chargers (Thurs.)
Week 11: vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Week 12: at New York Jets
Week 13: at Kansas City Chiefs
Week 14: vs. Tennessee Titans
Week 15: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 16: at Los Angeles Chargers
Week 17: at Denver Broncos
The game on the road against the Jets is interesting, as that will mark the first time Le’Veon Bell and Brown play against each other after being teammates for so many years in Pittsburgh. This is not the easiest of schedules, as they play a ton of playoff teams from last season, but this is a team that could turn some heads in 2019.
dark. Next. The debate over Winston, Mariota remains unsettled
With three first-round picks later this month, the Raiders have another opportunity to add quality talent to the roster, and they still have holes to fill at running back and on the edge. To say Mayock has been a great addition would be an understatement, as he appears to the perfect compliment to head coach Jon Gruden.
