39 seconds left in the first quarter:

Denver goes 56 yards on 2 plays in less than a minute to get their first points of the game. Plummer to Javon Walker was the big play going 54 yards to the Oakland 2.



A circuit City commercial asks what would happen if you were watching football for the same time? The Raiders would probably turn you off to the game forever that's what.

The Kickoff lands in the endzone for a touchback.

1. 1st and 10 Oak 20: Jordan carries up to the 26 but their was a holding penalty on Zack Crockett.
   
2. 1st and 20 at Oak 10: Jordan carries for no gain.
   
   The first quarter ends.
   
   Greg Papa: "The Raiders were playing Denver evenly in that quarter until...." He could pretty much say this every quarter of every game, and always end the phrase with "disaster struck". and it'd be accurate.
   
   Mountain Mike's pizza made with real California Cheese. This would not be a selling point for me, is all.

4. 3rd and 15 Oak 15: Lamont Jordan on a draw play gets nothing of consequence.
