Baller: P AJ Cole
The only punt in the first half was the Raiders. It was a good one, though. Cole’s punt went 42 yards and was fair caught at the 9-yard-line. It was the first of four punts he had that were stopped inside the 20.
His next punt went 37 yards and as downed at the 6-yard-line, then a 40-yard punt fair caught at the eleven, and a 47-yard punt fair caught at the 16. His only punt not stopped inside the 20 was a 55-yarder that went for a touchback. It came well after the Titans were just running clock. You certainly can’t blame the raiders defensive issues on poor field position.
Honorable Mention
Dion Jordan – Tipped the ball that Hurst intercepted which kept the Titans from scoring on their opening drive and set up the Raider’s first touchdown.
Foster Moreau – Caught the game-tying touchdown pass late in the second quarter. Earlier in that drive, he made a short catch, broke two tackles, and went for 7 yards to pick up the first down. His 6-yard catch in the third quarter nearly brought the Raiders into scoring range again, but it also ended his season with a knee injury.
