Oakland Raiders Tricks and Treats: Raiders Win Second Game in a Row

The Oakland Raiders defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Oakland. They are 4-4, and are sitting at .500 eight games into the season for the first time since 2002.

The Raiders have now outscored their last two opponents 92-17 and have exceeded over 500 yards of total offense for the second straight week.

Bush also had over 100 yards in total offense, including a touchdown late in the fourth quarter to seal the deal.
