The Raiders matched last year’s win total in this season’s seventh week. Considering 2014’s pockmark was a gruesome 3-13, head coach Jack Del Rio didn’t start popping bottles in honor of a third win and an even record.
That would be more a celebration of how far past Raiders had fallen versus how far they’d come. It’s not Jack’s style to acknowledge recent pre-Del Rio problems. He remains focused on what this group has done, accomplishments which ain’t shabby in the early going.
His Raiders are 2-1 on the road, .500 on the season and in the AFC West.
