The Oakland Raiders kicked the ball off first in this cloudy, rainy game against the Tennessee Titans. Titans rookie sensation at QB Marcus Mariota failed to lead the Tennessee to a first down on their opening drive so they punted right away after their first 3 plays. The punt traveled 60 yards but newly activated Jeremy Ross showed off what his specialty was by returning the punt 20 yards to the Raiders 38.
Derek Carr completed his first pass on the drive but got hit while throwing incomplete on the 2nd play.
