For the Oakland Raiders, it was a mismatch from the start. But, for one half against the rams, Oakland played like David to LA’s Goliath, and stood toe-to-toe with them, trading body blow, after body blow. It was an impressive opening 30 minutes of play.
Unfortunately, football has two halves to play, and the Rams came out after the mid-game break looking more like Godzilla, while the Raiders looked like Tokyo, as the big lizard rampages on through.
Yeah, that final 30 minutes of play was a mirror image of the first 30, as the Rams came out charged up, made some adjustments that proved to be killer, and blew Oakland off their home field, rattling off the final 23 points of the game – completely unanswered – to beat the Raiders 33-13.
