Peterson helps Vikings run past Raiders 30-14

Since losing the opener, the Raiders have twice followed back-to-back wins with back-to-back losses. Will he turn it around against the Oakland Raiders? This can change with wins in Detroit and Nashville, because the middle means volatility rather than safety, but until the Oaklands can make their defense look a bit more like their offense, they will be prone to games like this, where they don’t stop enough good players often enough to make the grand leap. “In order for us to get where we want to go at the end of the season, we’ve got to win these games”.

“It was certainly a momentum breaker”, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said.

Teddy Bridgewater, the Vikings quarterback, threw for 140 yards and only one touchdown. The Raiders’ drives in the second half were four punts, an interception and the end of the game. Carr has put them in the position of a legitimate playoff team with a bright future ahead, which is something that hasn’t been said about Oakland in over a decade.

Let’s take a closer look at this Sunday’s showdown, in which the Vikings are three-point underdogs.

“It matters at the end of the year, that’s the only time I care about it”, he said.

That didn’t translate to the field.

It was the second concussion in less than a year for Murray, who leads the AFC and is sixth overall with 630 rushing yards.

Walsh booted another field goal early in the second quarter to make it 13-0. Minnesota didn’t allow any points the rest of the game.

Week 10 will bring a battle between a strong offense and a strong defense.

After an interception by Newman, the Vikings moved into the red zone again. He is often tagged with the toughest assignment in the secondary, but he is too often coming up on the short end of plays. “That’s the bottom line right there“. I think all five guys have scored after eight games, all five running backs. “Really smart. He was just a phenomenal player in high school”. It’s just all about trying to ideal your craft, paying attention to the little details and getting back to it.

It’s a game with big implications for both teams.

AP has passed 11,000 rushing yards, has 27 plays of over 50 yards (to break Randy Moss’s record) and earned his 6th career 200-yard rushing game, which ties him for most all time with O.J. Simpson.

Newman, 37, and Raiders safety Charles Woodson, 39, are the NFL’s two oldest active defensive backs.

Starting with the fact that the final score should have been 37-14, and maybe even 40-14.

“You can’t give up those longs runs, and he got a lot of them”.

Through his rookie season with the Raiders, he struggled to adjust to playing in the NFL. On the other hand, their rush defense has been less impressive on the road and they’ve allowed 5.2 yards per carry to home teams.

“When we came in at halftime, we were still upbeat”, left tackle Donald Penn said. The last one resulted in Pittsburgh’s game-winning 38-yard field goal by Chris Boswell. It’s going to be a learning process. “It does feel good, but at the same time we still have quite a few games left”. We lost the turnover battle. Upset? Yes. Very upset. But it’s one game. But, what is it, chapter 10 tomorrow?
