Oakland Raiders. 4. team. 28. . 8-2.

The Raiders fall in this week’s NFL power rankings but to no fault of their own. Another team simply surged ahead of them this week.

Oakland squared off against the Texans in Mexico City on Monday Night Football and came away with the 27-20 victory to improve to 8-2 on the season.

Quarterback Derek Carr continues his mastery of head coach Jack Del Rio’s offense and went 21-of-31 for 295 yards and three touchdowns against one interception. Carr didn’t get much help from the running game, but he didn’t exactly need it either.

The Raiders are the real deal, folks. This is a team capable of surprising the best within the AFC this season.

Heck, they are among the best in the AFC.
