Raiders set penalty record, and win game in overtime

The Raiders are the second-worst team by our schedule-adjusted Defensive Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play analytic.

Coach Jack Del Rio stressed it’s not a vacation. Amari Cooper had 29 yards in four receptions.

The offensive tackle, listed by the Raiders’ official roster at 340 pounds, caught a 1-yard TD pass from Derek Carr on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As a bonus, he will be back in Jacksonville today to see his son Luke start at quarterback for Florida against Georgia. Unable to recover from the penalties, the Raiders were forced to settle for a field goal to make it 10-to-3 at the half.

The Oakland Raiders and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will go head to head on Sunday in a big game in the National Football League regular season. (Quarterback Derek) Carr is a quarterback that get the ball out of his hands, he’s got a quick release. On the ground, Latavius Murray rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns in 18 carries while Marquette King added 27 yards. The five straight road wins have come over New Orleans, Tennessee, Baltimore, Jacksonville and now Tampa Bay, the best team in that bunch record-wise being a 4-4 Titans club. A similar pattern developed last season when Jameis turned a corner after Week 4, and Tampa Bay certainly hopes that is the case again with a chance to potentially take over the division lead with a victory. Imagine how they would’ve done without all those flags.

Carr kept his poise, driving the team down the field much in part to a lovely leaping grab by Cooper on a 31-yard pass down the left sideline that put the team in action.

But that downplays how well the Bucs have played, overall. While Russell Shepard was not far behind, catching 5 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown of his own.

Fitzpatrick only completed three of his first 15 passes but he would connect with Quincy Enunwa for a 24-yard score before Forte took over with a pair of touchdown runs.

That means the Raiders will not want to let anything slip this week and will be desperate to claim the spoils against a tough Buccaneers team.

The Raiders offense has been as good as advertised. “And he’s getting better every week, I think his confidence is growing”.

The touchdown tied the game at 10-10.

This win was the latest, needing overtime to find a way to win.

The Buccaneers went three-and-out on both overtime possessions, though they were down to fourth-option running back Antone Smith. Del Rio likes having a veteran on the field.
