OAKLAND — About the field at o.Co Coliseum? The Raiders removed the infield skin. Just call them the Lawn Rangers.
The sod looks fantastic from the press box and at field level. I walked around the place, checked out the box seats in the dugouts and listened to Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora preview his Jimi Hendrix-style guitar solo National Anthem. This places figures to be rocking. The parking lot lived up to expectations with the tailgating. This is a concert disguised as a game.
As for the game, my three keys for Broncos to stay undefeated and run their winning streak to eight against Oakland are as follows:
Blitz, blitz and blitz Carr
Derek Carr represents one of the game’s better young quarterbacks.
