The Raiders decided to showcase their passing game . . . and scored no points.

Said coach Lane Kiffin:  “You saw what would have happened last year and what would happen this year if we tried to be one-dimensional.  We have to go back to the same way we were before.”

After completing his first four passes, QB JaMarcus Russel connected on only 10 of 24.

S Michael Huff, making the transition from strong safety to free, picked off a ball that was meant for Cards WR Larry Fitzgerald.

LDE Derrick Burgess took a couple of snaps on the right side, and could be flipping over there from time to time during the season.

LB Robert Thomas started on the strong side; earlier in the week, coach Lane Kiffin said that the job was Ricky Brown’s to lose.

RB Darren McFadden finished with 40 yards on 12 carries.

Should the Raiders make a run at Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin?

KR Johnnie Lee Higgins is regaining coach Lane Kiffin’s confidence.

WR Javon Walker got out of the doghouse with four catches for 60 yards.
