They did a good job on Dallas WR's last week.

Dallas might have the worst group of pass catchers in the conference

It happens a decent amount but hardly called

Run defense not having a day

One?

Raiders at their own 25
1st and 10: Lynch runs for 16
1st and 10: Lynch runs for 4 - flag down - holding on the Eagles
1st and 10: Richard runs for 4
2nd and 6: Richard runs for 34
1st and 10: Lynch runs for 2
2nd and 8: Lynch runs for 5
3rd and 3: incomplete pass
4th and 3: FG is good

10-7 Oakland

Need to get back to ajayi

That's how most people say that phrase. They play 1 game and they are done. 1 and done usually doesn't mean win 1 and then lose.

It’s a fair chance they will be a home underdog in their 1st game

Kickoff at 10:50
Touchback

We are going to win.

Lane not having a great day

These penalties are killing them
