The Oakland Raiders were faced with the daunting task of heading to London to face the 3-1 Chicago Bears. In a game where the Raiders weren’t given much of a chance heading into Sunday, they surprised many with their 24-21 performance.

After all the stigma looming over the Raiders heading into week one, it’s clear that they’ve exceeded expectations up to this point. Beating the Bears in London was a huge statement win by Jon Gruden’s squad.

Oakland has their bye, then they’ll round out their egregious road trip with stops to Green Bay and Houston.
