Running Back Marshawn Lynch
In the Oakland Raiders preseason home opener, the Silver and Black were unable to hold off a late surge by the Los Angeles Rams, falling by a final score of 24-21. For the entirety of the first quarter, quarterback Derek Carr led the first-team out on the field, throwing a pair of touchdowns, one to tight end Lee Smith, and another to wide receiver Michael Crabtree. With the exception of an interception, Carr looked poised in the pocket, and he called it an "emotional return" after breaking his fibula in Week 16 of last year.
Regardless of the result, there were plenty of highlights made on offense and defense; let's take a look at some of the action.
