Week 3 brought the Oakland Raiders to U.S. Bank Stadium. The silver and black are far from the team many experts thought would be a pushover of a transitional team this year, They have assembled some great talent around their featured pieces and have the potential to surprise teams that sleep on them.

However, Minnesota was ready for them. The Vikings not only showed the powerful defense that fans have learned to expect from the team, but they poured on points thanks to a powerful rushing attack and efficient passing game.
