Mike Mayock has set a goal of making the playoffs for the Las Vegas Raiders this season.

"Jon [Gruden] and I will both tell you that we feel like we need to be a playoff team this year, and I don't think there's any doubt about that," Mayock said. "You guys are all going to put that in your headlines, and I understand it, but that's what the expectation is. We think we've done the infrastructure work necessary to put us in position, and we've got to take care of business."

The Raiders have gone 7-9 and 8-8 in the last two seasons.

Mark Davis was unmoved by Mayock's viewpoint.

"It's always nice to hear somebody say that," Davis said, "but let's go out and do it. I'd be much more impressed if they did it."
