Raiders beat Eagles 31-10

Raiders force Vick to throw 3 picks

The Raiders defense just keeps getting better and better, They forced 3 picks today, one pick six by Tyvon Branch

and
I'd suggest you watch this with the audio off, because my mouth is too close to the microphone.
Jared Allen broke out and had a 3 sack day, DT Christo Bilukidi had 2 and Roach picked up 1.
Stanford Routt has lived up to expectations with his signing, the Raiders however will want to consider whether they want to bring the 30 year old back next year. Most of the new starters of D have earned their contracts.

Perfect pick by DB DeMarcus Van ****
