The 2014 Oakland Raiders season was the franchise's 45th season in the National Football League (NFL) and the 55th overall. Head coach Dennis Allen was fired on September 29 following an 0–4 start, and compiled an 8–28 record in 2+ seasons in Oakland.[2] Offensive line coach Tony Sparano was named interim head coach on September 30.[3] The Raiders were officially eliminated from the playoffs after their Week 11 loss to the Chargers, therefore becoming the earliest team since the 2004 Dolphins to be eliminated from postseason contention.[4]
After a run of 16 straight losses, including an 0–10 start which had not happened since the 2011 Indianapolis Colts, the Raiders won 24–20 against the Kansas City Chiefs on November 20.[5]
The last member from the 2014 squad still a Raider was quarterback Derek Carr until his release after the 2022 season. As of 2023, Carr is a member of the New Orleans Saints.
