Oakland Raiders 20, St. Louis Rams 10
The Oakland Raiders played very well on Friday Night in their victory over the Rams. Daunte Culpepper looked pretty solid again for the Raiders as he completed 4 of 8 passes for 47 yards with 1 TD pass and he also carried the football 3 times for 17 yards (5.7 ypc). Josh McCown was also solid again as he completed 6 of 9 passes for 138 yards. Andrew Walter didn’t look too sharp on Friday as he completed 3 of 6 passes for 26 yards. LaMont Jordan did a lot of the heavy lifting for the Raiders running game as he carried the football 18 times for 41 yards (2.3 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 1 pass for 49 yards. Adimchinobe Echemandu also was very busy with 14 carries for 60 yards (4.3 ypc). Justin Fargas also got his work in with 7 carries for 32 yards (4.6 ypc). Ronald Curry led the way for the receivers with 3 grabs for 27 yards and a TD. The Raiders carried the football 46 times for 172 yards (3.7 ypc) and they completed 13 of 23 passes for 187 yards.
The Raiders defense was bending but it didn’t break on Friday Night. The Rams rushed for 96 yards on 17 carries (5.6 ypc) and they completed 21 of 44 passes for 236 yards.
