2020 NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: Bucs crash and burn, Bills turn heads

Well, at least they were finally wearing their masks. The Las Vegas Raiders were hammered by the league ahead of their Week 9 game with the Los Angeles Chargers. Vegas had been warned by the league about violating the COVID-19 protocols and those warnings turned into fines as well as a loss of a sixth-round pick.

"“The NFL is fining the Las Vegas Raiders $500,000 and coach Jon Gruden $150,000 in addition to stripping the franchise of a sixth-round draft pick for COVID-19 protocol violations related to Trent Brown’s positive coronavirus test in late October, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday night.” — Grant Gordon, NFL Network"

That got their attention as players and coaches alike were seen following those rules on Sunday. As for the game itself, Las Vegas found a way to win another as they ran out to a 28-17 lead before seeing the Chargers fight back.

Up 31-26 in the final minutes, Las Vegas nearly let things fall apart as Justin Herbert led the Bolts on a 15-play, 71-yard drive. He then nearly had a game-winning touchdown, hitting Donald Parham for a score, which was reversed by the refs.

Vegas holding on in this one moved them to 5-3 on the season as they find themselves in a great position for going after a playoff spot this season.
