It was weird, it was wild, and it most certainly wasn’t your run-of-the-mill NFL game Sunday afternoon between the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After falling behind by ten points early, then clawing back to go up on the Buccaneers, only to lose the lead in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, the Silver and Black flew back to Oakland Sunday evening with a 30-24 overtime win in tow.
With the victory, the Raiders have won both their games during their 10-day trip to Florida, and now own an overall record of 6-2. Next on the docket is a highly-anticipated Sunday night matchup with the Denver Broncos at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, but before we look ahead to the Week 9 clash for AFC West supremacy, here are five takeaways from the Week 8 win over the Buccaneers.
