John Henry Smith went searching for answer -- We'll just two weeks ago all the raiders' fortunes will looking at all they've won two of three games. And played very well against an impressive Atlanta Falcons team but did two weeks that have followed it seemed the Raiders give up 97 points they've lost both of those games.
