![]() "Everyone's talking about, 'Oh, now what are the Raiders going to do? Is the season over?' We heard all of it. But these guys that we have in this building are resilient. Ever since I got here, there's always things going on. ![]() "In this business, there's always crazy things going on, especially with the Raiders," Crosby said with a laugh. It was the first time the Raiders committed zero turnovers but had four takeaways in a road game since Week 7 of the 1988 season at Kansas City, when Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson each rushed for a TD and Vann McElroy picked off Steve DeBerg twice. For those three hours, it's definitely easier to just focus on football."ĭefensively, the Raiders forced four turnovers - interceptions by Brandon Facyson, Tre'von Moehrig and Johnathan Abram, and a fumble recovered by Denzel Perryman that was forced by Solomon Thomas - and Maxx Crosby had three sacks. Some of the plays we ran, he would have been so fired up, but it is what it is and we need to move forward. "It sucks not hugging Gru' after a game like that.

They seemed to do a really good job with it. It's a bunch of grown men, handling their emotions throughout the week, putting them in perspective when it was time to go play the game.
