In light of the Saints’ continued struggles, the Raiders’ victory over them earlier this season has lost some of its luster. However, there’s no denying the magnitude of the Raiders’ stirring win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The question is, what can the Raiders do for an encore? Well, they have two weeks to prepare
News, notes, observations in aftermath of Raiders’ signature victory over Chiefs
Its clear how important Ruggs and Trent Brown are for the offense. Without them, the offense is certainly not as potent.
As much as I was surprised the win, I was equally surprised how well Ferrell played on Sunday. On the Mahomes INT, Ferrell was in Mahomes face closing in on him. Raiders need more of that from Ferrell.
Regarding Ingold, I’m surprised he wasn’t called for lowering his head during the game. It’s a call that could be called much more frequently.
Officials are calling fewer penalties across the board. So, what was called last two seasons aren’t necessarily being called this season. It makes for a better game as a whole.
The bye is coming at a good time, with Ruggs and Brown returning to the starting line-up. Those who were questionable/doubtful/out for the Chiefs game to be ready for the Bucs game.
What I liked from the Chiefs game … Pat Mahomes doing his Derek Carr impression after a disappointing loss. 🙂
