It’s always great to start off with a win! The Raiders also began the 2016 campaign with a victory, but that game in New Orleans gave us all heart problems. This game was a little less nerve-wracking. So what aspects of the game shone brightly, and which were less than stellar?
The Good
The Italian Stallion, in his first regular-season game as an Oakland Raider, was the true hero of the game. He went 4/4 on field goals including two 50+ yarders in a game the Raiders won by ten points. Sebastian Janikowski’s injury was very concerning to Raider fans, but if Tavecchio continues to kick like this, those concerns will dissipate quickly.
