Quarterback Derek Carr
In 2015, Raiders Head Coach Jack Del Rio routinely professed that his team could compete with anybody. In 2016, the Raiders no longer talk about going out to compete – they step on the field with the expectation to win. So far, the change in mindset has been apparent, and the Silver and Black moved to 4-1 on the young season with their latest victory over the San Diego Chargers.
The stars showed up on Sunday yet again – Derek Carr aired it out all over the field to Amari Cooper, and Michael Crabtree found the end zone yet again. First-round draft pick Karl Joseph recorded his first NFL interception, and newly-acquired players Sean Smith and Perry Riley Jr. also had strong performances.
Each week, the Raiders are gathering more and more steam, and with that comes a lot of added attention. Check out what the media is saying about the team after the game, as well as reactions from players after the most recent win:
