Can Magic Johnson change the Raiders’ fortunes?

Las Vegas Raiders have an ensemble list of top stars on their team. Davante Adams and Derek Carr are definitely two of the most sought stars in the league. However, despite having huge names, the Raiders have not made a mark in the new season. Currently, they are fourth in the AFC West. They played a good game against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, but have been mostly disappointing in other games. Interestingly, Josh McDaniels and his men had title hopes in the new season. At present, their playoff hopes are uncertain.
