RAIDERS WIN!



Raiders escape Baltimore with a win, improve to 3-1

The Raiders have proven they can play some defense, as needed.

And now, if they hadn’t already, they proved they’re a legitimate team on the road.

The Raiders escaped Baltimore with a wild 28-27 win, their third road win of the season. Their only loss was at home against the Falcons, and that result looks different after the beating Atlanta just gave Carolina as well.

Derek Carr threw for four touchdowns, three of them to Michael Crabtree as the Raiders continued to show they have as dependable a passing game as there is in the NFL.

The Ravens had only scored four touchdowns in winning their first three games, but caught fire in the second half, looking like an actual NFL offense themselves.

Doubling up on San Diego, -3.5 for another 200. HOping for a big day.

And God's team, the Cowboys, are trying to wrap one up in San Fran. And the Texas RAngers have clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Great to be me, and great to be from the DFW Metroplex!

Calling himself a third-down receiver, a fourth option, or vice versa. In his second season in Oakland, though, Craftree is rejuvenated and is more than Derek Carr's security blanket; Crabtree is showing the Niners what they missed out on. A career-best three touchdown day in the Raiders' victory at the Ravens cemented that narrative. "It's no secret," Crabtree said. "I'm grateful to be in this situation. Thankful. Blessed." Now, can he and the Raiders keep it up at home next week against the Chargers after playing three of their first four games on the road. -- Paul Gutierrez

They may not be as meteoric as Joe Montana and Dwight Clark were back in their day, but I certainly expect great things from this new 'dynamic duo' pair.
