The Oakland Raiders are still huge long-shots for postseason play.

But, as head coach Jack Del Rio cheerfully told reporters last week, they've got a chance. Those odds increased with a Week 14 win over the Denver Broncos, too.

They're currently the AFC's eighth-seeded team, with a tiebreak win over the sixth-seeded Jets and a tiebreak loss vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets and Chiefs currently hold the conference's two Wild Card spots.

By virtue of being two games back with three to play, a playoff-clinching season seems unlikely. But Del Rio's team has a shot at .500 -- Green Bay, San Diego and Kansas City are up next.

That'd tie the team's best finish since it went to the Super Bowl in 2002. And that'd be a major step in the right direction for these Raiders.
