[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.

On December 14, 2023, the team set a franchise record for most points scored in a game, defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 63–21.

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.

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.

However, the Raiders would respond with Garoppolo hitting Jakobi Meyers with a 6-yard touchdown pass for a final score of 17–16.

Aidan O'Connell threw four touchdowns in the Raiders’ largest franchise points output ever in a 63–21 win over the Chargers.
