Raiders move to 3-0.
Brady threw 5 picks, including 3 INT-TDs. With 10 minutes to go in the 2nd Qtr, the Raiders were up 35-0.
But Brady came out firing and their defense shut me down the rest of the way, and I hung on to win 38-31. No thanks to Janikowski, who missed 3 FGs, and big thanks to Shane Vereen, who fumbled twice, giving the Raiders 7 total takeaways.
I did what the Raiders should have done in real life and started purging veterans from the roster. I traded MJD and James Jones, and have signed and used younger players. It's worked well so far. HB Kenjon Barner, who I picked up in FA, now has 281 yards over the first 3 games of the year. But the star of the offense has been TE Mychal Rivera - 25 rec, 349 yds, 4 TD thru 3 games.
