Biggest Takeaways from Minnesota Vikings’ Week 10 Win

That’s a bit unexpected.

Up until passing was a necessity once it became a two-score game, the Raiders had 17 runs and 27 passes. This just a week after the Raiders (4-5) allowed a franchise-worst 597 yards – 284 into the hands of receiver Antonio Brown – in a 38-35 loss in Pittsburgh. They moved a game ahead of Green Bay (6-3), which lost to Detroit, and will face the Packers this week at home.

When asked who made the shirts, coach Mike Zimmer said, “Me”. “Johnny Avello, executive director of race and sports for Wynn Las Vegas, wouldn’t be surprised to see the Packers” slide continue. “It sure is”, Avello said. “Even after that play, I could have gone longer”. That formula is not working. Like his quarterback, who dropped to the bottom of the first round in the 2014 NFL Draft, Zimmer’s been dismissed, and it’s time to prove the naysayers wrong. The game will air on Fox 9 at 3:25 p.m.

Hudson pushing to get back: Raiders center Rodney Hudson missed Sunday’s game with a sprained ankle, but he tried to sneak into the lineup at the last minute. Buffalo is trying to stay in the wild card picture in the AFC. “We knew we were going to go in there and get the ball”.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen, left, is tackled by Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson (24) during the first half of an NFL football game in Oakland, on Sunday, November 15, 2015. Lester said Bookmaker.eu posted an aggressive opening line and had to back off shortly thereafter.

“When we came in at halftime, we were still upbeat”, left tackle Donald Penn said. “And we’ve proven nothing until we can go prove (we can) beat them”. “There’s no time to sit around and feel sorry for yourself”. Cincinnati Bengals at Arizona Cardinals (N/A)Cincinnati is still among the thinning unbeaten ranks, but it has a few work to do in Week 10 before it can focus on a non-conference clash with Arizona.

Here’s who the Raiders have defeated this season: The Ravens (currently 2-7), the Browns (2-8), the Chargers (2-7) and the Jets (5-4, the only current winning team the Raiders have beaten). “I understand the heightened part of this game, but you know it’s still about us and how we play”. “If there aren’t any major injuries, our team will make the Cardinals short chalk”, Lester said. “These are two squads close together in our power ratings, so it’s really a toss-up type of game”. “It’s a T-shirt. You go down to the store and print them up”.

Not yet, not now, and definitely not on Sunday, when the Raiders faced another good National Football League team and the Raiders lost to another good National Football League team. The Cowboys (2-7 SU and ATS) haven’t won a game since Romo broke his collarbone in Week 2.

According to San Francisco Chronicle Raiders reporter Vic Tafur, head coach Jack Del Rio and the players Tafur talked to after the game on Sunday are denying any suggestions that they came out flat against a Vikings team that now has one of the best records in the NFC along with the division lead in the NFC North after beating the Raiders. I continue to be the same person. “[It is] not so much this game, but … what we got going on and how much more serious this is about to get”, Diggs said. “Even if Tony Romo is back on the field, there will be plenty of smart bettors backing Miami”. “I think we’re developing a tough-minded attitude”.
