Explosions Alameda, Calif. (AP) Back-to-back put the Oakland Raiders in a very unusual situation: the production of an important game in November.
After the victory against Denver and Seattle 92-17 in the lopsided stretch of 43 Polamalu white jersey
two games in the franchise in 43 years, the Raiders are preparing to play Kansas City in a collision of the two best teams in the AFC West.
It was very funny, offensive lineman Robert Gallery (notes), said on Monday. We have not seen this series as a whole in the last six years, seven years here. That is what should be. Its supposed to be fun. Should it be in games like this. We must continue to do what we the last two weeks we have a chance to do good on this year.Gallery the Raiders in 2004 for the second year in a dismal run of seven seasons with the at least 11 losses. But with two convincing wins in the last two weeks, Oakland (4-4) is in November without losing record for the first time since the 2002 Super Bowl.
In the past two weeks one of the best performances were in back-to-back always for the team. The Raiders have won at least 500 yards in consecutive games for the first time in franchise history.
The defense was also dominant, with eight sacks against the Seahawks. Oakland held Seattle to 162 yards, including 47 on the ground and had consecutive opponent under 100 rush yards for the first time in four years.
Confidence Itsa strengthen large, running back Darren McFadden (notes), he said. It's something we talked about how, get out easily and put together games back to back, and we could. Now go we do, week week. Quarterback Jason Campbell (notes) that formerly was benched this season, played hurt in the past two weeks Bruce degree Frankowski (notes). Campbell completed 27 of 47 passes for 514 yards, four touchdowns and no complaints for a passer-by 123.9 rating.
This is the kind of performance of the hunters, if they hoped Campbell acquired from Washington in a trade on draft day. The owner Al Davis was so happy that Campbell against two-time winner of the Super Bowl Jim Plunkett in the preseason.
But despite the outstanding play of 43 Polamalu black jersey
Campbell, coach Tom Cable argues that there is degree Frankowski, when he's healthy start. Degree Kowski threw warm-up Sunday and the coach said he was better, he had felt since I won the game against San Diego on 10 October with a separated right shoulder.
Clear sound, said cable. Theres no problem exists in my head. What we have done is good, which over the last two weeks. You have to tip you hat to Jason. It's a good job for his party and the other offensive players. However, we know that our new quarter that I was not good for the Raiders. Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (white) left Sunday's game with a sprained right ankle. Cable said the team running tests on the severity of the sprain is to be determined and could make a better impression about the state of Asomugha on Wednesday this week.
Main receiver Zach Miller played sparingly last week because of an injured right foot and was on crutches Monday as a precaution. Is required to play this week. The Raiders also played Sunday without starting receiver Louis Murphy (notes), the likely failure to hit another game with a bruised near his lungs.
However, the offense started, despite the absence of the hunters to get at least 100 yards four-player melee Sunday: McFadden (135), Darrius Heyward-Bey receiver (Notes) (135), defender Marcel Reece (Notes) (122) and running back Michael Bush (white) (106).
We can be very explosive, said Heyward-Bey. We understand that when people go down, people on the board and have played for this team. I only saw the team from this year compared to last year were much better, were much safer. If we are all healthy again, we must be very good.Notes: The cable was not an interest in WR Randy Moss (notes) that was released by the Vikings on Monday ruled out. He said the team any player who could help might be interested. Moss played two years in Oakland before 6 Super Bowl Champions jersey
