#20 Darren mcFadden slithers through Bronco defendersThe Oakland Raiders fought QB Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos to a 17-17 standstill in the first half. Then, after hearing a shout-full from coach Cable in the locker room, the Raiders came out and scored 22 points while limiting the Broncos to two field goals. Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow may have won a few battles in his debut today, but the Oakland Raiders won the war in convincing fashion.
Raiders running back Darren McFadden rushed for 119 yards putting him over the 1,000 yard mark for the season. D-Mac has 1,112 rushing yards on the season and deserves being voted to the pro bowl. After watching #20 slither and slide through the Broncos defense all day, I realized what great Raiders running back he reminds me of; the mvp of Super Bowl XVIII, #32 Marcus Allen.
Jacoby "lightening in cleats" Ford, Marcel Reece, Sebastian Janikowski, Jason Campbell, Big John Henderson, Michael Bush, Tyvon Branch, Jared Veldheer. All had outstanding performances in the win today.
Thanks for playing your butts off and keeping our Raider Nation playoff hopes alive for another week soldiers. The Raiders have their best record (7-7) in week 14 since playoff days of 2002. We may not make it to the playoffs this season, but we've definitely stepped closer to sniffing the Lombardi Trophy come 2011.
On a day where Bay Area storms threatened with heavy rain and gusty wind, I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else in the world but the Oakland Coliseum, watching the Raiders pillage and plunder the Denver Broncos for the second time this season. We fans enjoyed laughing as they conquered and won.
Final Score
Broncos 23
Raiders 39
