Boo on missing the good drive but I tuned in just now during that huge punt. ---

Wow. I think he’s got three shots at the endzone here. EDIT: Holy shit! ---

That unsportsmanlike conduct penalty seemed pretty questionable. But, Mayfield made a couple of really nice throws on the drive, and there’s the Rams with the lead. ---

98 yard drive, with no time-outs, in under 2 minutes. Pretty impressive. ---

Yeah, easy call, similar to kicking the ball so that it takes longer to line up. ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > 98 yard drive, with no time-outs, in under 2 minutes. Exactly what I came in to say. Yes, that was a major penalty after the sack, but Mayfield made some incredible passes on that drive. ---

Hard not to root for him on that drive, certainly. Good for him. ---

Wow that ended up being a much better game than I expected. Glad I stayed up to see it to the end. ---

It was awful for 3+ quarters. Then it got real good real quick. Raiders scored on their first 3 possessions of the game, 13 points. They scored 3 the rest of the way. Credit the Rams defense, and, as @DCnDC mentioned, a TERRIBLE interception by Carr at the end of the first half. That was an easy FG and those 3 points look rather large right now. ---

A stat that they showed at the end of the game: the Raiders have now lost four games this season, in which they had led by 13 or more points at some point. ---

That will teach me to give up on Baker Mayfield. ---

The Ravens are listing QB Lamar Jackson as “doubtful” for Sunday’s game, after he didn’t practice all week, due to a knee injury. If he’s unable to go, Tyler Huntley will be the starter. > **[Ravens likely to start Huntley over injured Lamar](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35219443/ravens-likely-start-tyler-huntley-injured-lamar-jackson)** > > Ravens coach John Harbaugh said that "it's looking like" Tyler Huntley will start at QB on Sunday in Pittsburgh, as Lamar Jackson has not practiced since injuring a knee. ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > the Raiders have now lost four games this season, in which they had led by 13 or more points at some point. Along the same line, I read today that the Raiders are the first team to blow four double-digit halftime leads in a season. The stats go back to 1930. ---
