It has been obvious for a while now that this Raiders team is much improved from last year's model. But up until now, that kind of statement was followed up by the words ‘but that isn't saying much.' After today, the Raiders left little question that is indeed saying a lot.
Two weeks ago, no one was sold on this team. They were 2-3 at the bye week, coming off tw0-straight losses, and were heading into what on paper appeared to be an offensive buzz saw in San Diego. Through three quarters, they dominated the Chargers, giving up big numbers in the fourth quarter to let the Chargers attempt to get back into it.
