Raiders luck out when McManus misses field goal

“Obviously everybody wants an answer every Monday at 1 o’clock”, Kubiak said in an interview on KOA 850-AM radio (via ESPN).

“I don’t think that’s just a rookie wall or anything”. If we went out to practice today, absolutely nothing has changed today. Do we go any further? Raiders fans already knew, now football fans in general understand why we are so excited to have Mack in Oakland. His negative play as the starter, ending in a four interception output against the Kansas City Chiefs, also played a role in Osweiler’s ascension to the starting role.

Khalil Mack was a one-man show against the Denver Broncos Sunday, leading the Oakland Raiders to a 15-12 upset in Mile High Stadium. He put together a solid performance on Sunday in the Broncos loss to the Raiders (7 receptions, 74 yards), but the only thing people will remember from the game is going to be this terrible drop on 4th and 5.

“Both 17 and 18 are great quarterbacks”. They defied the expectations of many and did something they haven’t done in a long, long time – contended for a playoff spot late into the season. “Brock is definitely a competitor and Peyton, I’ve seen him pick defenses apart like it’s nothing”.

Peyton Manning, missing his fourth straight start with a left foot injury, watched this one from the sideline after skipping the Broncos’ trips to Chicago and San Diego and viewing Denver’s win over New England from inside the locker room area. He would record 5 sacks on the day.

Mack practically carried the Raiders to the victory by himself, considering Oakland won despite totaling just eight first downs and 127 yards.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – Peyton Manning is practicing for the first time in 32 days.

He has said his doctors can’t say when he’ll be able to return to action this season.

The only certainty surrounding the league’s only five-time MVP is that he’ll have to make it back to practice before suiting up again for a game.

“For a young guy like him that’s just kind of really coming into his own, you’re just seeing flashes of what he’s going to be”, Woodson told reporters after the Raiders’ 15-12 win.

“You have to use the information and have the courage to do the right thing for the team”, he said. “So, let me see where we’re at”.

Mack said the Raiders knew they had a chance when they held the Broncos out of the end zone four times in the first half. Sunday the Raider defensive lineman ran around, by, over, and through the Denver offensive line – stealing from Lionel Richie “All Night Long” (all night).

King is the Raiders’ reluctant star, a player who feels infinitely more comfortable decked out in full camouflage than he does standing in front of a throng of reporters and television cameras.

Coach Gary Kubiak hasn’t said a great deal, realizing that the topic of how to handle a 39-year-old legend is a delicate one. He was suited up but Kubiak said Anderson was available only in case of emergency.
