Palmer's precision was above average. What's more, players like Denarius Moore received and held on to those passes. The best is yet to come for the Oakland Raiders.
The widely viewed game on Thursday Night Football preceded Veteran's Day. Another great thing is that promotions for the documentary produced by the NFL on the life of Al Davis was announced over and over again. It was befitting to honor Al Davis on Veteran's day.
