On Sunday, the Raiders and Cardinals delivered all the hijinks and blunders expected when two bad teams meet to determine which one is worse.
After the Raiders won, 23-21, no one left State Farm Stadium wondering how the two teams had won only three games between them. More likely, they were amazed the Cardinals and Raiders had beaten anyone at all this year.
The game was that bad. For the Cardinals organization, it might have been pivotal, because it felt like a loss that will cost someone his job, most notably coach Steve Wilks.
Maybe not now, with six games remaining in the season.
