The field was muddy and the crowd was rocking as the Raiders kicked off what was touted as potentially their last in the old Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. If so, the Raiders gave the fans on hand something to remember.
Opening with Oakland native Marshawn Lynch lighting the Al Davis torch, the evening was ready to begin.
This game didn’t exactly start out as a barnburner. The Raiders didn’t have a first down in the first quarter and had a net of just 12 yards. And yet they still led the game 7-0 due to an incredible 99-yard punt return by Dwayne Harris.
