Raiders special teams: Daniel Carlson perfect; A.J. Cole still booming in Week 7 loss

Feast or famine.

Such is life for Daniel Carlson.

With the Las Vegas Raiders offense going through it’s Jekyll and Hyde moments — looking productive one moment, pathetic the next that displays the duplicity of the Silver & Black — through the first seven weeks of the season, the place kicker has experienced both the flood and drought of opportunities.

Take the Raiders Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams for instance.

Carlson was called up five times and drilled every one of his field goal attempts — from distances of 38 yards (twice), 27 yards (twice), and the long of 47 yards — to account for all of Las Vegas’ points in the 20-15 defeat.
