Raiders finish season with upset win at Tampa

The Raiders were 13 point underdogs going into their season finale against the Tampa Bay Bucs, who were playing for a spot in the playoffs. Anyone with a brain knew that the Raiders were going to get their asses kicked in Tampa. I guess I don’t have a brain because the Raiders pulled off a major upset by beating the Bucs 31-24 in Tampa to knock Tampa out of the playoffs and send them home for the season.

QB JaMarcus Russell completed 14 of 21 pass attempts for 148 yards and 2 TDs, RB Michael Bush carried the ball 27 times for 178 yards and 2 TDs. 

By not turning the ball over and effectively rushing the ball, the Raiders finished the season with 2 straight wins over good opponents. Maybe there is hope in the ghetto after all.
