Football is a week-to-week league. That might be Raiders coach Jack Del Rio’s favorite line, as he tries to explain the goings on game to game in as few words possible to reporters.
Well, Sunday was a weak-to-weak game.
Oakland came back after a dismal first half, only to blow it and lose 18-13 to Detroit at Ford Field on Sunday. Both teams spent large portions of the game trying to convince the other team to win.
The loss is the third straight for the Raiders (4-6) whose ever-thinning playoff hopes were dealt a crushing setback.
