ALAMEDA – Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio rarely looks back. Hindsight isn’t useful in a season that never stops moving, one that demands coaching staffs always prepare for the future.
Del Rio did look back at Thursday night’s loss and wished he could’ve done some things different. On 3rd-and-1 on the Raiders’ final drive, a deep shot at the end zone was called. In hindsight, Del Rio wishes a run was called. A false start eliminated a second shot at the first down, which the Raiders never got and eventually lost 21-13 at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Raiders run game was rolling that night, to the tune of 135 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries.
