Bye week begins new season

By Jeremy Kahn

After seeing his team fall to 0-4 on the young season, Oakland Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie decided it was time for a change.

McKenzie fired Dennis Allen, who was in his third year as the head coach of the Raiders; however after a 38-14 loss to the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium, it was decided that there was going to be a change.

Allen was out as head coach, and was replaced on an interim basis by Assistant Head Coach Tony Sparano.

With the bye week come and gone, the Raiders will return to the practice field in preparation for their home game against the San Diego Chargers.

Following the Chargers, the Arizona Cardinals and former teammate Carson Palmer makes his first appearance at the Coliseum since leaving the team after the 2012 season.

After back-to-back road games against the Cleveland Browns and the defending World Champion Seattle Seahawks, the Raiders return to the Coliseum to face longtime rival Denver Broncos.
