On the Oakland Raiders podcast with J Hawkes:

How surprising was it for the Raiders to beat Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers the NFC Champions not really that surprising as the Raiders now 9-2 are taking everyone by storm. Derek Carr at quarterback for the Raiders had himself a Sunday throwing 26-38 with two touchdowns and an interception. Khalil Mack picked up the AFC defensive player of the week. The Raiders who won big in Mexico City against the Houston Texans and at the Oakland Coliseum against Carolina prepare for this Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
