What They Are Saying: Twitter Reactions To The First Raiders Win

Sep 21, 2015 at 05:33 AM

This past weekend, the Raiders rebounded from a tough season-opening loss in dramatic fashion. Derek Carr had some late-game heroics and led the team down the field for a game-winning touchdown to wide receiver Seth Roberts in the game's final minute. Receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree both went over the 100-yard mark and the defense came up with two very timely turnovers to contribute to a total team victory.

It was a welcome turnaround from Week One, and many figures around the NFL took note of the Raiders' play. Here's some of what's being said on social media:

Lost in the #Raiders win: S Charles Woodson played 96% of the snaps per @PFF, despite dealing with a painful dislocated shoulder. Beast.
