Calm Yourself, NFL Fan Of A Winning Team: My Team’s Losing

In addition, at age 39, the Raiders’ cornerback became the oldest player ever with two interceptions in a game. Raiders DE Justin Tuck suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter and did not return….

And of course, that crushing pick-six.

Dallas managed just two field goals – a 51-yarder and 23-yarder by Dan Bailey – to account for all its scoring.

The pass was intended for receiver Seth Roberts, who didn’t do what Carr thought he would.

One of the things teams say after a loss is “give the other team credit”. With a week off to work on what needs working on and the Chargers coming off a Monday night game and then a tough game against Green Bay, you know the Raiders will be up to showing up and competing against San Diego.

Derek Carr threw for 249 yards and a 3-yard TD pass to Marcel Reece for the Raiders (2-3) but was done in by the interception midway through the fourth quarter with Oakland in position for a possible go-ahead field goal. Raiders have 11 receptions, 135 yards receiving, and one touchdown.

Would starting Osweiler improve the Broncos running game, which is averaging just 71.6 yards per game?

The Broncos offense was held without a touchdown Sunday, but three field goals and a defensive touchdown were enough to beat the Raiders.

NOTES: The Broncos won their record 14th straight road game against a division opponent…. The 2011 Eagles fifth-round pick rushed just six times for 34 yards, but caught five passes for 59 yards and a score in which he somehow avoided several Cowboys defenders after making a one-handed catch. The Denver Broncos will travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns in Week 6, but will have their bye on Week 7.

Andy Dalton led Cincinnati 86 yards in seven plays after the opening kickoff, hitting an uncovered Tyler Eifert for an 11-yard touchdown pass. His record was announced to the crowd before he kicked off after the Raiders’ second-quarter touchdown and fans greeted him with a loud ovation.

Unfortunately for the Raiders on Sunday, Week 5 was the offense’s first poor performance since the first half of Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Prior to the two interceptions, the 63rd and 64th of Woodson’s career, he had never picked off a pass from Manning in their 18 years in the league, reports ESPN.

While the effort the Raiders and Woodson put forth against Manning and the Broncos on Sunday certainly provided ample reason for optimism in Oakland, it also showed the clear line of demarcation that still exists between the two franchises.

Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris (25) celebrates after…

“From the vantage point that I had, it was wide open”, head coach Jack Del Rio said.

Oakland Raiders defensive back Charles Woodson is one of the most celebrated football players in all of football – on every level.

The question has to be asked: Is it time to consider benching Peyton Manning – the greatest quarterback in Denver Broncos’ history not named John Elway – in favor of backup Brock Osweiler? In spite of a few key catches, he also had an interception on him that might have been saved with a little jump ball fight with Woodson (who made a great play on a floating pass) as well as a drop in the end zone and. On the first play of Oakland’s possession, Miller blasted past an attempted cut block from right tackle Austin Howard and sacked Carr, forced a fumble and recovered it.
