Week 13 Power ranking The Oakland Raiders #2! Number 2? I'm a Raider fan n all but number 2? At least they've played teams in the top ten.
Lead by future Hall Of Fame and MVP QB Derek Carr! Continues to show poise and NERVES OF STEEL under pressure!
Carr has 13 game-tying or go-ahead touchdown passes in the fourth quarter or overtime the past two seasons, six more than any other QB! Shows what a great O-Line can do. Time to hope for a Wild Card.........How Bout Dem RAIDERS! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
-----------------------------
Marcus Mariota is coming of age, I predict them to overtake the Texans. If the Texans had Mariota instead of Brock VanWilder they'd be scary. Maybe I'm crazy but I think Mariota will be MVP someday the only thing holding him back is playing on the Titans.
Brock Van Wilder - Three qualified quarterbacks have thrown more interceptions than touchdowns this season: Case Keenum (lost his job), Ryan Fitzpatrick (fighting for his job) and Brock Osweiler (doesn't seem to be in much danger of losing his job).
