Raiders Struggle In Win Against Chiefs

The Oakland Raiders won their first game of the season 13-10 against the Kansas City Chiefs and all the talk is still focused on the poor play of QB JaMarcus Russell.

Russell had a poor performance this Sunday but managed to put together some completions in the final 69-yd drive and setup the winning 5-yd touchdown run by RB Darren McFadden.

Its a huge win for coach Tom Cable who believes that once his team gets on a winning track and knows how to finish games the Raiders culture of losing will be a thing of the past.

Until that winning streak becomes a reality we Raider fans will have to continue a week by week analysis of what went wrong this time.

One constant in the Raiders two close games is very apparent; QB JaMarcus Russell's play is appalling at worst and inconsistent at best.

Russell's lethargic stats in today's win:
