The Oakland Raiders put an emphatic exclamation mark on their first 2-0 start since 2002 with a 45-20 drubbing of the hapless New York Jets.
While any win is a good win in the NFL, it’s hard to get too excited over beating a team that has about as much talent and direction as the pre-Reggie McKenzie era Raiders. Offensively, the Raiders gave us a glimpse of just how explosive and dominant they can be in scoring six touchdowns – three through the air, three on the ground.
Defensively, Oakland did what they needed to do in thrashing a team that has Josh McCown starting under center.
