ANALYSIS/OPINION:
If I was Jay Gruden, I might have stopped at the nearby MGM National Harbor Sunday night and put some money on black.
He had the number of the silver and black all night Sunday, winning nearly every bet he placed on his Redskins team in a 27-10 beat down over the favored Oakland Raiders.
This was as dominant a game the Redskins have played under Gruden, perhaps back to another Sunday Night Football win last year, that one the 42-24 win over the Green Bay Packers.

The defense created opportunities, stifling the Raiders offense, holding them to just 128 yards, and making life miserable for Oakland quarterback Derek Carr – he of the $125 million contract – with four sacks and two interceptions.
