The Rebels looked very much the part of a team playing in its first Mountain West championship game, falling to Boise State on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium.
Since 2015, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has the most game-winning drives (32) and fourth-quarter comebacks (26) in the NFL.
The fourth-year running back went for a career-high 144 yards on 28 carries and scored two touchdowns in a 32-23 win against AFC West rival Denver.
Interim head coach Rich Bisaccia chose to go for it on fourth down in the fourth quarter, leading to a Raiders touchdown.
Raiders were steady enough in all three phases of the game to pull off a critical road victory.
Henry Ruggs chose to get behind the wheel when reportedly impaired Tuesday morning and then was involved in a fiery crash that left a woman dead.
Beginnings can be memorable or brutal. There isn’t much in between when talking wins and losses. Except this one. It was just nuts.
Tyrann Mathieu has been described as a mix between Hall of Famers Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu, and, well, good luck topping those comparisons.
The coronavirus has not only taken fans from most NFL stadiums, but also temporarily silenced all pregame tailgating.
Choking in sports means you’re in position to win, which Shanahan and his San Francisco 49ers were before allowing it to slip away in a 31-20 loss to Kansas City.
Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson have combined to complete 82 of 114 passes for 1,151 yards with 12 touchdowns and no interceptions against the Raiders.
Former Raiders coach Tom Flores was not included in the new Pro Football Hall of Fame class announced during the NFL’s annual Honors program Saturday.
Kansas City departed Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum a 40-33 winner Sunday, but not before the AFC West leading Chiefs got far more than they likely expected from the Raiders, a 14-point underdog who now sit at 2-10 on the season.
Losing starting quarterback Armani Rogers indefinitely this week to a toe injury is hardly a desired reality, but this is the sort of moment coach Tony Sanchez has prepared for through recruiting.
