LAS VEGAS -- Things were said.
Insulting things. Degrading things. Things that, well, got under the skin of Henry Ruggs III and gave the Las Vegas Raiders' second-year receiver some "extra fire" against the Miami Dolphins.
Things that, apparently, could not be repeated.
"I don't like to say too much, I don't like to start nothing," Ruggs said, "and I was just ready to play and prove who I was."
Mere gamesmanship by a heralded secondary? Course of game week trash talk?
Ruggs would not elaborate. Instead, he let his play do his talking in Las Vegas' wild 31-28 overtime victory on Sunday that got the Raiders off to their first 3-0 start since the 2002 Super Bowl season.
