The 2019 season, the franchise's final year in Oakland, was highlighted by a significant three-win improvement to finish with a 7-9 record. Led by head coach Jon Gruden, the team featured a high-powered offense with quarterback Derek Carr throwing for over 4,000 yards and the sensational debut of rookie running back Josh Jacobs, who rushed for 1,150 yards. The season saw the emergence of young stars like Darren Waller and Maxx Crosby, while Pro Bowlers Rodney Hudson and Trent Brown anchored a strong offensive line that helped the team remain in playoff contention until the final week.
