If there was a game on the schedule with the consensus being that the Oakland Raiders would come out victorious, it was Week 9 against the equally bad San Francisco 49ers. San Francisco was young and inexperienced, and despite what their record suggested the Oakland Raiders had more talent and experience that should surely lead to their second win of the year. Add the fact that a third-string quarterback was making his NFL debut for the 49ers, it was a logical conclusion who would come away with a win.
Instead the exact opposite happened, and the Oakland Raiders now sit through the extended week with a 1-7 record staring them in the face, rightfully labeled as the NFL’s worst team.
