The Oakland Raiders won the coin toss and elected to defer, which was probably the only thing the Raiders won in the first half.
Sean Smith hurt his shoulder on one of the first plays of the game, and Perry Riley limped off the field not too long after that. In a matter of minutes, the Raiders were down two defensive starters.
That left David Amerson to exclusively cover Mike Evans, and it was a struggle early on. Evans converted on a pair of third downs, and finished the first half with 3 catches for 45 yards.
