He finally got one. Marcus Peters has been itching to take the ball away all season. He’s got his hands on a few and he’s often seen going for the strip instead of trying to make the tackle. Monday night he finally got one and it was the pick six variety.

That score was much needed as the Raiders offense had done little to night in this game. They had one touchdown drive which seemed like it came out of nowhere considering how they had done on every other drive in the game.

The result was what was looking like a runaway game by the Lions and a 16-7 half time lead.
The Raiders got the ball to start the half and had a four play drive and punted, with Jimmy Garoppolo completing his first pass to a wide receiver in the game.
But with the pick six, the Raiders are back in it, down just two points. Plenty of football still to play.
