Raiders’ game grades in win over Chiefs
Offense Was this really the same offense? The Raiders amassed nearly as many total yards Thursday night (505) as they did in their previous two games combined (519). Derek Carr took some chances downfield, and Amari Cooper finally looked like a speedy, dynamic wide receiver. Defense The Raiders gave up gobs of yardage, again (425 in all). Most of the game, they couldn’t cover Tyreek Hill or slow Kareem Hunt. But when it mattered most in the fourth quarter — when they faltered Sunday against the...

Tough to defend this pass interference non-call in Chiefs-Raiders game
The Oakland Raiders ran a fleaflicker where Marshawn Lynch flipped the ball back to Derek Carr who then threw it 38 yards down the field to Amari Cooper who caught it for a touchdown. Except... Watch what Cooper does on the play. He pushes the Chiefs defensive back, Terrance Mitchell, to the ground.

Game grades for Raiders’ home loss to Ravens
Offense EJ Manuel completed only half of his passes (13-of-26) for 159 yards and was sacked three times in his first Oakland start. Marshawn Lynch gained 43 yards on 12 carries, his best game in three weeks. Has anyone seen Amari Cooper (two targets, one catch)? Defense Ravens WR Mike Wallace had two 50-yard-plus catches on his way to his highest production (133 yards) in more than six years. Joe Flacco, hardly known for his elusiveness, wasn’t sacked, and the Ravens converted 7 of 14 third downs...

The Raiders’ dynamic wide receiver has suffered a string of dropped passes this season, and for the Raiders to get back on track, they’ll need to get Cooper into a grippy groove. Harbaugh, in a Wednesday morning conference call with Bay Area media, said of Cooper, “He’s a game wrecker.” The Raiders could use one of those.

Raiders’ Amari Cooper looking to correct early-season errors
Wide receiver Amari Cooper, as he does most weeks, stood in front of his locker Wednesday and softly answered questions from reporters. Cooper knew his six dropped passes in three games this season would be a prominent topic. They were, and he didn’t duck those questions. “I try to move forward,” Cooper said. “Obviously, I look back on them to see how I dropped the ball, and then fix it. … Most of the balls I’ve dropped have been a result of trying to run before I actually catch the ball. “It’s a little frustrating, but you...
