Punter Marquette King
The 2016 Oakland Raiders just do not blink. In their latest outing, this one against the Carolina Panthers, both the offense and defense shined brightest in the game's biggest moments. Derek Carr led the offense down the field twice in the fourth quarter to come from behind, and Khalil Mack imposed his will and sealed the victory with a strip sack of Cam Newton.
The stars were definitely out in force at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum – NBA players Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, entertainment icon Ice Cube, and wrestling legend Ice Cube were just a few in attendance – and the Raiders' stars came through too as Derek Carr, Khalil Mack, Michael Crabtree, Bruce Irvin, and Latavius Murray all put on a show. Now at 9-2, the Raiders are clear contenders for the top seed in the AFC and are unquestionably one of the most exciting teams in the league to watch. After the game, many of the players, as well as media figures, athletes, and celebrities, took to Twitter to share some thoughts on the Silver and Black – check out their reactions below:

Khalil Mack had an INT, sack, FF, FR and TD. He's the 1st player since Charles Woodson in 2009 to do all 5 of those things in same game. pic.twitter.com/XI8DS22Bqb

Khalil Mack's last 6 games: 7.0 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, a pick six, 29 total tackles. Monster.

Carr has a serious argument for league MVP right now. @RAIDERS
— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) November 28, 2016
Seeing the Raiders relevant again, the fever pitch in Oakland... just feels so Madden... so Snake... so late 70's... #JustWinBaby
— Bonnie Bernstein (@BonnieBernstein) November 28, 2016
The @Raiders Derek Carr has a legit case for league MVP. Today's game was a perfect example.
— Kevin Negandhi (@KNegandhiESPN) November 28, 2016
Best sign for Raiders is that Carr & Mack aren't just good, they're clutch. Closers.
