Who knows if the Raiders can translate any of their preseason magic to the regular season. Regardless, it sure feels a lot better leaving the field as a winner, even if it doesn’t count.
Unlike the first two games, this one didn’t have the Raiders lead most of the way and win comfortably. They were down 21-10 at the half and had to come back to win it with a field goal in the waning seconds.
The win is great and all, but both teams were fielding squads of mostly players who won’t be on the roster in a couple weeks.
