Oakland Raiders at Detroit Lions
That should allow Stafford and the offense to move the chains and get a good number of red-zone tries. Three started on offense – Rob Sims, Dominic Raiola and Reggie Bush.
Were to begin in a game that the Raiders at time seemed disinterested in and at time looked lose with another week of bad play calling and missed chances.
The point is, it was a typical year of change and turnover. The Raiders (4-6) have a season-high three-game losing streak.
Change is a constant in the National Football League, and everyone’s used to it. “We had two delay of games, just not showing awareness of the clock”, coach Jack Del Rio said. There’s nothing else you can do.
“I’m blocking somebody, he started falling”, Penn said. “I wish I would’ve made it a little clearer so it wouldn’t have been a judgment call by the ref. That was a big play in the game, and I’m just really upset and I feel like I let my team down”. The decision on the stated goal to hire a general manager to make all football decisions will impact the franchise for the next decade – or longer. He did a great job of winning; thats what he does.
“We’ve still got a lot of games to play, so we’re not getting down on this”, safety Nate Allen said. They were able to end the game by simply kneeling after picking up enough first downs on the ground.
Charcandrick West, RB, Kansas City ($4,950 at SD): West rolled up a total of 161 yards from scrimmage with a rushing touchdown and an 80-yard scoring reception in Denver last week, and another strong stat line will be in the offing on the road in San Diego Sunday. The memory probably went up with the cloud of smoke that followed Matthew Stafford on his five-yard touchdown run.
Cooper was targeted four times and caught only one pass.
Bell gives the Lions some power. What makes it so much worse was that this was a “must win” game that the team came out so unbelievably flat for.
Riddick had one run for 4 yards in the first half along with one catch for 16 yards.
DETROIT, MI – NOVEMBER 22: Golden Tate #15 of the Detroit Lions runs for a first down while being defended by D.J. Hayden #25 of the Oakland Raiders at Ford Field on November 22, 2015 in Detroit, Michigan. At that point, it would have been easy for the Lions to quit. A tight game that went back and forth ended with the Jaguars claiming an important 19-13 victory over their rivals.
Calvin Johnson, WR, Detroit ($5,250 vs. OAK): Johnson hasn’t scored touchdowns in each of the past two games, but he has two scores in the past four weekends while posting 81 or more yards in each of the past four. Well, he had only one attempt and made it after going 0-for-2 at Green Bay last week. At age 30, he’s averaging a career-low 13.7 yards per catch and has been battling an ankle injury. The Lions took the ensuing free kick and ran out the remaining time. Eric Ebron dropped a pass in the end zone and the Lions settled for a field goal as they did on their next drive after Stafford overthrew Ameer Abdullah in the end zone.
“Got to win the games we’re supposed to win”, defensive end Khalil Mack said. Luckily, on another part of the field, Detroit was called for defensive holding and it nullified Carr’s interception.
Tony Romo is breathing some life into the Cowboys as another slate of Sunday matchups during Week 11 wrapped up.
