Raiders week 16 report card: First balanced, complete game in all phases

It almost seems trite to give out grades after such a rousing victory. Fans in Oakland didn’t care much how it played out, they just wanted a reason to celebrate so the sweet could outweigh the bitter in what could be their last chance to see the Raiders play in Oakland.

But we have a job to do, so let’s get to it.

Aerial attack: B+

No big plays on that wet field, but the passing game came through in the clutch. Derek Carr was efficient and completed passes to Jordy Nelson twice for third down conversions on the long drive that started in the third quarter and took 7:20 off the clock ending in a touchdown.
