I probably won't watch a ton of the Texans/Raiders game but I damn sure will watch every snap of the Lions/Seahawks game.

Huge scoring drive by the Raiders.

They're going to have to win the game exactly like that. Special teams and running the ball.

Yep. I wouldn't throw the ball more than about 12 - 15 times this game unless it's dump offs or 50 yard bombs just to somewhat keep the D honest.

As an aside, this game goes to show that the QB matters. Raiders have an excellent OL, a good running game, and good weapons in the passing game.

Anyone saying Dak only looks good because of the talent around him (looking at you, eagles fans) can choke on a bag of dicks.

Looked like that was a bit of a lazy blocking effort by Fuller that allowed the safety to make the TFL.

Whenever I hear people make that argument I always ask them why did Dallas only win 4 games last year.

We had a top 10 running game last year with the same group of receivers and the same OL.

The only major difference is the QB position.

Kind of gutless of Lamar Miller to run out of bounds like that.

I'd expect Zeke to do the same. There were no more yards to be gained. Save your body from the unnecessary contact.

Osweiler rarely scans the field. Looks like he stays locked on to his primary receiver on most of his pass attempts.

This Trawick kid comes through with another nice tackle for loss.

Gutless play calling by the Texans. I hope it costs them.
