OAKLAND-It maybe a new season, but it seems like the Oakland Raiders are in the same old rut that they have been in since the 2003 season.

Andy Dalton found tight end Tyler Eifert for two touchdowns, while Jeremy Hill added two more on the ground and the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Raiders 33-13 at the Coliseum.

Eifert, who missed all but one game with an elbow injury during the 2014 season caught nine passes for 104 yards on the afternoon.

Things went from bad to worse for the Raiders from early on, as Derek Carr left the game before the end of the first half with an injury to his hand and never returned.

The Raiders avoided being shutout in their first season opener since the 2006 season, as they scored two meaningless touchdowns late in the game, trailing the Bengals 33-0.

After seeing the Raiders start the season by going three-and-out, the eighth consecutive season that they started a season by going three-and-out or committing a turnover, the Bengals took advantage.

Dalton moved the ball easily down the field, and Hill ended the Bengals initial drive of the 2015 season with a three-yard touchdown run to end the 11-play drive.

Eifert score in the waning seconds of the first half, as the Bengals ended the first half leading the Raiders 30-0.

Carr went 7-for-12 for 61 yards passing before leaving the game with an injured hand that was suffered when Carr attempted to throw a stiff arm to Bengals cornerback Adam Jones. X-rays on Carr’s hand were negative.

Matt McGloin replaced Carr, and threw two touchdowns to fullback Marcel Reece to make the score a little closer.

“It’s the first game. We can’t cry right now,” said Michael Crabtree. “We got 15 more games. It’s the first game. We lost bad. We’re going back to the lab.”

Crabtree and rookie Amari Cooper each led the Raiders with five receptions, while Cooper gained 47 yards and Crabtree gained 37 yards.

NOTES: Aldon Smith, who signed with the Raiders on Friday, picked up a solo tackle, an assist and one quarterback pressure.

Charles Woodson, who is in his 18th season left the game on the final series of the game with a shoulder injury.

This was the Bengals first ever win in Oakland after losing the 10 previous times.
