Summary
When Jon Gruden returned to the Raiders, big promises were made about the team's return to its historic winning ways. But so far, wins and postseason berths are in short supply in Las Vegas.

Today the Athletic's Vic Tafur takes us through all the ups and downs of Gruden's second go round with the Raiders and tells us if he thinks this is the season when the Super Bowl winner finally finds the perfect recipe to get Vegas back to the mountain top.
