On Sunday, the Oakland Raiders ‘hosted’ the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, in what was the first game of the 2019 NFL International Series. Ever since the Raiders schedule was posted for 2019, the first thing every single member of Raider Nation did was circle October 6th, the first time matchup of Khalil Mack‘s Bears and Jon Gruden’s Raiders.
Mack, who was traded by Gruden in 2018 after holding out through the offseason, planned to make this a statement game and wanted this to be a true revenge game to show Gruden what he traded away.
