Packers secure seventh straight playoff berth, then beat Raiders

Carr’s team was kind of used to this. Randall Cobb spent much of the drive lines up in the backfield, but he came up with a big first down on a 2nd and 17 and drew a pass interference penalty in the end zone to set up first and goal from the 2. Only this time, it wasn’t a one-time backup in Brock Osweiler who was charged with reviving a championship contender.

The Raiders couldn’t get their footing – literally and figuratively – today in a 30-20 loss at home to Green Bay that not only officially eliminated them from the playoffs but also ruled out the possibility of them having their first winning season since 2002.

“It’s not the only painful moment, it won’t be the last painful moment”, Del Rio said. “It won’t be the last painful moment”. “We have a good group, a good group of men in there”. We’re disappointed the night didn’t go the way we wanted it to. “We’re looking forward to it”. The Texans (7-7) took sole possession of the AFC South lead by snapping a two-game losing streak. It’s fun to score a bunch of points and put up a bunch of yards, but everyone is fighting to get to the playoffs right now. It came in the third quarter when Derek Carr threw his second touchdown pass to Amari Cooper from 26 yards out to put them up 20-17. Hyde then returned the interception to the one-yard-line and a few plays later punched it in on a John Kuhn run up the middle to take a 7-0 lead. Both of these miscues were early in the first quarter.

With a 10-4 record and games against fellow NFC playoff teams awaiting the end of Green Bay’s regular-season schedule, the Packers are in. Rookie Damarious Randall replaced Shields in the starting lineup. Carr had been hoping to make a delivery to Seth Roberts, one of his wideouts, who was open.

In time, Carr got the ball to his own guys instead of Green Bay’s.

These comments came after Abbrederis had just three catches for 33 yards in a Week 15 win against the Oakland Raiders, but one was a huge third-down conversion during a 19-play drive that led to a field goal.

The Raiders, who play again Thursday, know that despite the progress and promise of 2015, they fell short.

The field was watered by mother nature all game long, which put the skids on a productive day for either offense, thought the Packers’ defense was the stalwart of the game. Mindful of the Packers’ late-season loss at Buffalo a year ago – McCarthy even broke from his “stats are for losers” mantra during the week to point out how his teams had struggled in such late-season road games against uncommon opponents – he eventually dismissed repeated questions as nitpicking. The front office signed a solid bunch of veteran free agents and drafted some terrific rookies. The Raiders, along with the San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Rams, are possibilities to relocate to Los Angeles. Now it’s wait until next year, whether it’s in Oakland or Los Angeles, for a franchise that is considering another move south.

“(Green Bay) Coach Mike (McCathy) did a better job than Jack Del Rio did with his team”, Del Rio said. In time, “this football team will have that opportunity to do that”. It wasn’t good enough often enough in Sunday’s victory over Oakland.

“I am not sure what’s going to happen to the Raiders”, Rodgers said. Anything short of that, he believes, is a problem. He forgot he was supposed to be at safety and we didn’t have a half-field play. “But that’s not the case”.

The reason why that’s been the case is because the Raiders have had very little productive players.

“We just don’t really have a clear-cut direction”, Rodgers added, via ESPN.

The next step for the Raiders?

“You can’t dig yourself a into a hole early like that”, Woodson said.
