Reeling Raiders blow another huge lead, lose 27-20 at Jags

Associated Press  

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Las Vegas Raiders are becoming a safe bet to blow a huge, early lead. “Guys fought, but we got to learn how to play a full four-quarter game,” Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said. “We have played stretches in each game mostly where we play good football, but that’s not enough to win in this league.” The Raiders vowed to play better than last week’s 24-0 debacle at the Saints. They didn’t like double him to the point where we couldn’t throw the ball to him.” The Raiders’ final five drives ended in three punts, a turnover on downs and a fumble. But there are things in-house that we’ll talk about man to man and all that kind of stuff that could be addressed.” Added McDaniels: “It’s not good enough, you know what I mean?
