Previous: . Oakland Raiders. 31. team. 28. . 2-8

Recap: The Raiders’ losing streak was at five straight when Jon Gruden took his team south to Arizona to face a Cardinals’ team that only has two wins themselves. It was an afternoon where the real “battle” appeared to be between Gruden and quarterback Derek Carr. The veteran signal-caller threw for 192 yards and two scores but was sacked four times. And the Oakland ground game came up with 152 yards on 33 carries. When it was all said and done, Carr drove his team 63 yards in seven plays in the final 1:53. And Daniel Carlson delivered a 35-yard field goal on the final play of the game to give the Silver and Black their second win of ’18.

Next Week: The Raiders head east to Baltimore for the second time in three seasons as these clubs are renew acquaintances for the fourth consecutive year. In Week 5 of 2017 at Oakland, the Ravens came away with a 30-17 victory. The Silver and Black had prevailed in the previous two meetings, including a 28-27 win at Baltimore in ‘16.

Playoff hopes: Running the table doesn’t look like a possibility for the Silver and Black as the club. But you have to start somewhere and the team rallied in the final minutes to get its second victory of the year.

Next: No. 30
