Mark Davis is piping hot mad. The Raiders are one of six teams who will play a delayed Week 15 game due to the NFL’s surge in COVID-19 cases this week. Raiders owner Mark Davis, like his fan base, does not think that is fair.
Addressing the league’s postponement of Las Vegas’ Saturday night game against the Browns, which is now scheduled for Monday night, Davis pointed out that the Raiders are now at a “competitive disadvantage.”
“Health and safety is always No. 1, but it’s tough,” Davis said. “Maybe Cleveland should travel here. That would make it more fair.”
Several players on the Raiders have already made it known they don’t agree with the NFL’s latest decision.
“I pay my player dues just to get lied to and the rules bent,” Raiders linebacker KJ Wright wrote on Twitter. “If it was the other way around I swear we would be playing tomorrow.”

Raiders cornerback Casey Heyward took to Twitter and tweeted, “I’m sure the NFLPA president playing for the Browns didn’t have any effect on these negotiations.”
The Browns have been hit the hardest with the COVID outbreak next to Washington, with more than 20 players — including starting quarterback Baker Mayfield — on COVID reserve after testing positive for the virus.
