OAKLAND Vontaze Burfict Jersey , Calif. (AP) — The Raiders have gotten final approval for their lease to remain in Oakland for at least one more season.The Oakland City Council voted Thursday to approve the lease for 2019 with an option for 2020. The Alameda Board of Supervisors had voted earlier in the week in favor of the lease that had been formally approved by the Coliseum Authority last week.The Raiders will pay $7.5 million in rent for the Coliseum and the practice facility in Alameda in 2019 and have a $10.5 million option for 2020 in case their new $1.8 billion, 65,000-seat stadium in Las Vegas isn’t ready by then.This season likely will be the Raiders’ final season in Oakland after moving back from Los Angeles in 1995. The Raiders began playing at the Coliseum in 1966 and were there through the 1981 season before going to Southern California.The team plans to start the 2020 season at the 65,000-seat stadium being built west of the Las Vegas Strip. Taxpayers are contributing $750 million to the project.The partially tax-funded stadium that will become the home of the Raiders in Las Vegas has recently faced delays with the delivery of steel components. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports substantial completion of the venue has been pushed back by less than a week to Aug. 4, 2020. The facility would host its first event soon after.In addition to the delivery issues, a report by an independent construction monitor hired by the stadium’s oversight board released Thursday says site visits revealed that “steel components that should have been completed have not yet been erected or detailed.” ALAMEDA Seth Roberts Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Coach Jon Gruden was in no mood to rehash Denver’s final drive that handed the Oakland Raiders a second straight defeat to open his tenure as coach.Case Keenum and the Broncos were able to move the ball down the field with little pressure in the heat and altitude of Denver and get a 36-yard field goal from Brandon McManus in the closing seconds of a 20-19 victory Sunday.A second straight game with no consistent pass rush raised an obvious question for Gruden about whether the decision to trade edge rusher Khalil Mack, who was holding out, to Chicago for a package of draft picks was a wise move.“It doesn’t make me regret,” Gruden said Monday “We made the trade. We made the trade. There has got to be hindsight, 50-50, all that stuff. We would have loved to have him here and I’m not going to keep rehashing this. I would have loved to (have) coached him Isaiah Johnson Oakland Raiders Jersey , loved to have him here, but he’s not here. Somebody’s got to step up.”That hasn’t happened through two games so far this season as Oakland has just two sacks combined in losses to the Los Angeles Rams and Broncos in the opening two weeks.Bruce Irvin, who used to be nicknamed Robin to Mack’s Batman, has been unable to deliver with the bigger responsibility of being the top pass rusher. He had one sack in the opener against the Rams but didn’t provide much this past week.He committed a personal foul that extended a touchdown drive for the Broncos after Oakland had appeared to make a third-down stop and looked gassed on the final drive when Keenum moved the ball from his 10 to the Oakland 18 with under two minutes remaining.“Well obviously we need to get more out of our captain,” Gruden said. “He’s put in some tough spots, certainly. He’s a good player. He’s had some really good snaps. We need more and more from him. I know he’s giving us everything he has and it’s tough on him Isaiah Johnson Oakland Raiders Jersey , certainly, because we do have a lot of new guys around him upfront. We’re happy he’s here.”The Raiders also hoped to get a boost from three rookie draft picks in end Arden Key and tackles P.J. Hall and Maurice Hurst. Key excelled in the preseason but has looked overmatched at times now that the regular season has started.Hurst had the team’s only sack Sunday and Hall played on an injured ankle for much of the opener before missing the game against the Broncos and likely a little more time.The lack of a pass rush has played a role in Oakland struggling in the second half the first two weeks. The Raiders led both games at halftime but have been outscored 43-7 in the final two quarters for the worst second-half scoring margin in the league.They had chances to close out the Broncos even before the defense allowed the game-winning drive. Early in the fourth quarter, fullback Keith Smith dropped a pass from Derek Carr on fourth-and-1 from the Denver 33.Instead of the Raiders going in for another score to extend a 19-10 lead, the Broncos took over and drove for a touchdown.Oakland got the ball back with less than six minutes to go and a chance to ice the game. The Raiders got two first downs but a double pass interference call against Denver’s Bradley Roby and Oakland’s Amari Cooper wiped out a 29-yard gain to Cooper.Then a false start on second-and-4 by tight end Jared Cook helped stall the drive and led to a punt that set up Denver’s winning drive.“This is the National Football League. You have to be able to finish the game,” Raiders cornerback Rashaan Melvin said. “That’s something we haven’t done as a team and we really need to focus on doing.”
