OAKLAND — Sure, it’s a dump. But to the Raiders, for five more games anyway, it’s home.
The Raiders will have been away an unprecedented 48 days when they host the Detroit Lions Sunday at the Coliseum, having last played there on Sept. 15 when there was still a baseball infield and Patrick Mahomes was leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 28-10 win.
“I’m excited, man. I can’t wait,” Raiders safety Karl Joseph said. “It feels like it’s been forever. We’ve been on the road so long I think I forgot what it looks like.”
It was tough to know what to make of the Raider when they left town.
