Vikings Recap

The Raiders lost their 6th consecutive game and fell to 2-8.

Stuart Schweigert managed to have an entire season's worth of missed tackles and blown assignments in one game.

The offense looked better, but Duante Culpepper still held on to the ball too long.

Next week, the Raiders make their annual trip to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs. Culpepper will again start at QB.

The Chiefs will be without all-world tail back Larry Johnson. Their backup, Priest Holmes, decided to retire on Wednesday after he reinjured his neck in the second half of last week's contest against the Colts. This likely had a huge impact on the Raiders' strange handling of the LaMont Jordan situation. Jordan was inactive last week and all signs pointed to him being waived when Michael Bush was activated from the PUP list.

However, it seems as though the Raiders didn't want to deal with the possibility of facing Jordan this upcoming week! As a result, Bush will stay on the PUP list and won't play until next year. Jordan will most likely not be released until the offseason.
