Doug Martin ran hard all Monday night long. Karl Joseph set an aggressive defensive tone with one big hit after another. Derek Carr and Jordy Nelson were in perfect sync, connecting seven times on important plays. Daniel Carlson was automatic on two field-goal attempts, and Dwayne Harris’ heads-up punt-return touchdown kicked off a celebration of Oakland Raiders football.
Those guys were obvious highlights in a 27-14 win over the Denver Broncos in the possible final Raiders game at Oakland Coliseum. But don’t forget about Kolton Miller and Brandon Parker. The Raiders' rookie tackles kept the offense afloat and a dynamic Broncos pass rush quiet.
