For a game which saw pouring rain, fumble snaps, a ton of punts, and a second half of nearly exclusive running for the Raiders, the entertainment value ended up being pretty spectacular. While the rain did impact the much hyped matchup between two young and promising quarterbacks, it certainly didn’t sap all the energy away. The intensity was electric as Oakland threw ten passes in a row on their final drive to seal the win.
While the last drive was exciting, it wasn’t always pretty. Dropped passes came into play on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Derek Carr made some good throws as well as some terrible ones, both in terms of decision and accuracy.
