In the final prime time game in the history of “The Black Hole” before the move to Las Vegas, the Oakland Raiders took down a team they hadn’t beaten in two years.
They defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 26-24 on the back of a solid performance by Derek Carr and a hellacious effort from their defense on all fronts.
One area I was really surprised with was the Raiders’ pass rush. Led by two rookies in Clelin Ferrell and Maxx Crosby, the Raiders’ front line was one of the weakest in the league with quite some way to go before it developed into a solid unit.
