Let’s keep it going. It’s Tuesday and this is the Black Hole Roll Call. An underrated play from Week 1’s victory over the Tennessee Titans has to be the first one for the Oakland Raiders. Rookie safety Shalom Luani played with poise to recover Ryan Succop‘s sneaky onside kick attempt.

It set up a short field where the Raiders would eventually get into the end zone. One could argue that it set the tone for the game for the Raiders. Playing at a 10:00 a.m. PT kickoff two hours east might have had other West Coast teams still sleepy, but the Silver and Black were wide awake on Sunday.
