Highlights
It was a long day for Raiders fans on Sunday, as the offense failed to get anything going, and Philip Rivers picked apart the secondary. The Raiders did not find the end zone until the fourth quarter, when the game was out of reach, in their worst loss of the season.
Coming into the game, there were plenty of questions about the Raiders, but there was hope, as they were coming off a win. It looked early on like this would be a close game, as the team’s were tied at 3 late in the second quarter, but the wheels fell off the car after that.
Rivers was a surgeon all day, and at times, the Raiders just did not look interested in playing. Sitting at 1-4, and with a long flight to London on deck, they better figure things out quick.
Here are some highlights from Sunday.

Bruce Irvin got to Philip Rivers on this play, but his overall play on Sunday left little to be desired.
