OAKLAND, Calif. _ For the majority of Sunday's game, the Raiders had life. They had a chance, something that has come sparsely for the 2018 Oakland Raiders, who entered Week 8 with a paltry 1-5 record.
Derek Carr's first-career rushing touchdown gave the Raiders a 28-21 lead early in the third quarter, but as we've come to expect with these 2018 Raiders, they crumbled late, just like in the first three weeks of the season.
Another bad Johnny Townsend punt and a Doug Martin lost fumble sealed the deal in the fourth quarter, as the Raiders now sit 1-6 after a 42-28 loss to the Colts (3-5) with a Thursday night date with the equally-as-miserable 49ers awaiting.
Maybe some resemblance of a defense will show up in Alameda between now and then. Probably not.
