OAKLAND -- The Raiders dropped another game and are 1-6 in a season that's lost before midseason. But, hey, at least they weren't blown out this time.
The Raiders couldn’t keep pace with the Indianapolis Colts in a 42-28 loss at the Coliseum. This game wasn’t all bad, though the defense certainly could claim that it was.
