With the Raiders keeping their undefeated streak alive against every fans most hated rival, “BYE WEEK”, Oakland waltzes into a prime time matchup against the Houston Texans in Mexico City at a beautiful 7-2, leaving fans to wonder if they took a time machine back to 2002.
This game is the chance for Oakland to make its mark. Monday Night Football, something Oakland hasn’t enjoyed since a demoralizing defeat to San Diego at home in 2009, a game infamous to Raider fans due to Jon Condo getting hurt and Travis Goethel stepping in at longsnapper.
Regardless, the Texans game is one that Oakland quarterback Derek Carr walks into with a major chip on his shoulder.
