Carr, Raiders end road skid with 27-20 win over Browns

With the game hanging in the balance, the ball hung in the air a beat too long.

Asked about his team’s execution when he coached the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, John McKay spoke for many frustrated fans.

“It is a new system, but it might be a little more physical at this point”, Pettine said. Their failure left Benjamin thinking about how his mistake contributed to the defeat. He said this means Oakland is 2-1. The Raiders (2-1) are above.500 for the first time since 2011.

The Seattle Seahawks ended a two-week drought with their first win of the season Sunday when they shut out the Chicago Bears 26-0 and doused first-year defensive coordinator Kris Richard with a Gatorade bath. I just didn’t put enough on the ball… we would have had a shot.

“These games are never over”, said Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, even more accurately. It doesnt do any good pointing fingers the day after the game because were all in it together as an offense.

“He was open early”, Browns coach Mike Pettine said. There’s a reason why he can’t stick with one team and I’m guessing it doesn’t have anything to do with his personality. “With all the emphasis that was put on it, that is an obvious source of frustration”. “When he makes plays like that, it’s kind of expected”.

Raiders wide receiver Seth Roberts (10) catches a 13-yard touchdown pass in the first half of an NFL football game against the Browns, Sunday, September 27, 2015, in Cleveland. He sagged off Cooper and allowed him to catch and run for 40 yards.

Haden suffered a rib injury on the first play when he fell on Coopers helmet making a tackle, but he gutted it out. His efforts help bring the game within seven. He wasn’t sacked or hit, according to the official stats. “There have been some plays for him to make that he hasnt made. We have to get off the field on third down. We have to tackle better. “In the grand scheme of things, it’s a great win for us”. McCown took a sack, forcing Cleveland to burn their final timeout.

“We’ll see how he responds”, Pettine said.

“I joke with him all the time, ‘They had to have given you your jacket already, at least they have your size, ‘” Carr said. No wonder the crowd chanted Manziel’s name during the game.

“From a passing concept”, continued Pettine, “read the coverage at field level and know where ball is supposed go”.

Tight ends have now caught 21 passes for 305 yards and five touchdowns against Oakland this season. He made several hard throws, then missed easy ones.

McCown will start in San Diego on Sunday and for the forseeable future.

Josh McCown’s right hand is cut and swollen. He wouldn’t disclose the body part, but wiggled his fingers and said he felt “good”.

McCown said Monday, “I couldn’t step into the throw”. Lets look at the grades the defense got after Sunday’s win against the Browns.

But McCown rallied the Browns, pulling them within 27-20 on a 4-yard TD pass to Benjamin with 6:28 left.

In the second quarter with the score 3-0, Barkevious Mingo was called for a roughing the kicker penalty on a Marquette King punt. I think the most obvious one was the one on the goal line. McCown’s interception was the last straw.

The last comment was a direct shot at the secondary and the offensive line. “There’s a lot of finer points involved with it. It’s just something we need to emphasize and we need to do it better”.
