With Thanksgiving on the horizon, it’s only fitting that Sam Darnold got a head start on the holiday by carving up the Raiders before he gets to his turkey.

Darnold had his way with an Oakland defense that has been solid in 2019, going 20-29 for 315 yards, two touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Not only did Darnold put together a solid stat line, but he also made a bevy of impressive throws throughout the afternoon and used his legs effectively to prolong and make plays.

Prior to Sunday, Darnold’s recent hot streak could’ve been taken with a grain of salt considering the quality of competition he was going up against. There’s no debating that the USC product is now back to himself after lighting up a postseason-caliber defense.
