The 2023 season was the Las Vegas Raiders ' 54th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 64th overall, their fourth in Las Vegas , and their second and final under the head coach /general manager tandem of Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler . On October 31, following a Week 8 loss to the Detroit Lions , the Raiders fired McDaniels and Ziegler.[ 1] The Raiders named linebackers coach Antonio Pierce interim head coach,[ 2] and assistant general manager Champ Kelly interim general manager.[ 3] Following the season, the team named Antonio Pierce the full-time head coach after the team finished the season with a record of 5–4 under Pierce.[ 4]
The season was the first since 2013 without longtime quarterback Derek Carr on the opening day roster, as he was released on February 14.[ 5] The Raiders improved on their 6–11 record from the previous season following their Christmas Day win over the Kansas City Chiefs . However, the Raiders were eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive year after a loss to the Indianapolis Colts the next week. They finished the season 8–9 to finish in second place in the division.
On December 14, 2023, the team set a franchise record for most points scored in a game, defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 63–21.[ 6]

To commence their 2023 season, as well as the post-Derek Carr era, the Las Vegas Raiders traveled to Empower Field at Mile High to face one of their longtime AFC West rivals, the Denver Broncos.

Less than a minute later, Russell Wilson hit Lil'Jordan Humphrey with a 5-yard touchdown pass to cut the Raiders' lead to 7-6, since they couldn't get the extra point.
In the second quarter, Daniel Carlson booted a 24-yard field goal to push the Raiders' lead up to 10–6. However, Vegas trailed for the first time when Russell Wilson hit Courtland Sutton with a 5-yard touchdown pass to put Denver up, 13–10, at the half.
In the third quarter, neither team could score any points; the score stayed 13–10 in favor of the Broncos.
