Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio praised Tony Bergstrom for his work at center in place of standout Rodney Hudson on Sunday.
Bergstrom made his first start at center in the Raiders' 30-14 home loss to Minnesota since his junior year in high school. It was his second NFL start, the first coming in his rookie season in 2012.
"Tony played well. He had a winning grade," Del Rio said. "He did a good job going in. It's not an easy set of circumstances to go in. It's really a talented nose guard that he went up against.
