Oakland Raiders: What They Need to Do To Win The AFC West

It has been a long time since the Raiders have won the AFC West division. The last division title came in 2002 when Rich Gannon was enjoying his veteran company in Tim Brown and Jerry Rice. Charlie Garner's slick speed and Rod Woodson's ball hawk abilities allowed the Raiders to dominate the AFC West.

Those days and players are long gone, and it is time for the new breed of Raiders to step up and bring the AFC West back to Oakland.

Coach Tom Cable has the Raiders believing in themselves and believing that they can win. This past Sunday they took out the top dogs in the division, the San Diego Chargers. Beating the Chargers is the first step in making a run at the division.

Here is what the Oakland Raiders need to do to win the AFC West.
