Oakland Raiders: Mack’s dominant night validates Gruden’s decision

You have to imagine that somewhere last night, Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden was cringing a little bit. Maybe he was off beating his head against a wall, smashing dishes on the floor, or running around kicking puppies.

Much like the fans, Gruden could not have been thrilled to see Khalil Mack throw on that Bears uniform, and about a week after dealing him to Chicago, see him utterly dominate the Packers on Sunday Night Football.

Mack’s debut as the newest Monster of the Midway was one for the ages – he had three tackles, notched a sack, a forced fumble, had a fumble recovery, a tackle for a loss, a pass defensed, and an interception he returned for a touchdown.
