ALAMEDA — The Raiders haven’t had to shake off many losses this season, so it was a welcome site Wednesday when they finally got back to the practice field to prepare for Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers.
There were plenty of benefits to the long weekend after losing last week on Thursday night, but the lingering taste of a bitter defeat wasn’t one of them.
“I’d rather play Friday night,” Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said. “You never like to have that taste in your mouth of a loss.”
Carr and the offense had an uncharacteristically poor night in their 21-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
