JBB staff writer Austin Gayle gives his players of the game for the Oakland Raiders win over the Tennessee Titans.
Coming off a big win against the Tennessee Titans (2-9), the Oakland Raiders (5-6) have managed to break free of their three-game skid and now head into their Week 13 matchup against the against the Kansas City Chiefs (6-5) with a bit of confidence. If they can find a way to string together a second consecutive win over their division rivals, Oakland will again claim the No. 2 spot in their division.
While it is always important to quickly begin focussing on your next opponent after a big win, we’ll still take the time to highlight players from both teams that managed to have a considerable amount of impact on the outcome of the game. An honorable mention should go out to both Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and rookie receiver Amari Cooper, as the two both put up quality numbers this week.
With that being said, here are five players from Sunday’s game that played beyond expectations.
