Raiders: Not ready for prime time
Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers
On the one hand, it is great exposure for Oakland to be on NFL Network on Thursday night. On the other, prime time is the last place the Raiders want to be.
Oakland has lost its last nine prime-time games heading into Thursday night’s game. It has not just lost them, but gotten embarrased in them.
In those nine losses, the Raiders have been outscored 234-94. Only one of those losses was by fewer than seven points, and the Raiders were shut out twice. Here’s a look at the Raiders’ ugly prime-time resume since 2005.
