News: I’m joining @TheAthletic as a staff writer covering the Raiders.
Working for The Athletic was a career goal, and earning this opportunity is surreal. Thank you to all who helped make this dream a reality.
My first day is Monday. Raider Nation, I can’t wait to get to work!

Kubiak added that Jeanty's comments this week about players on the Jets not wanting to tackle didn't factor into his reduced role.
Klint Kubiak said it was "my call" as to why Ashton Jeanty had only two carries against the Jets.
"Ashton is still gonna be a big part of our team. He had a huge catch, huge catch. He's gonna be a huge part of our run game moving forward. We just wanted to give Mike a few more opportunities today. And I think both those guys are gonna be a huge part of our rushing and passing success moving forward."

Ashton Jeanty said it was communicated to him before the game that he would be getting fewer carries against the Jets.
"We won. It doesn't matter how I feel about how much times I get the ball. Whatever it takes for the team to win, I just want to win. That's all."

Raiders win 38-33. They finally get back in the win column, ending their four-game losing streak.
Kirk Cousins looked great today, even with major issues for the rest of the team persisting. Props to the defense showing up in the fourth quarter, but that was mostly ugly.

Brock’s not your typical tight end.
Brock Bowers caught 6 passes for 87 yards and 2 touchdowns aligned as an outside receiver today.
No tight end has recorded more receptions lined up outside in any game since at least 2016.

Gutsy make by Matt Gay on the field goal attempt. That could ice a win for the Raiders and end their losing streak.

Jalen Nailor has finally shown up. Scores his first touchdown as a Raider to give Las Vegas a 35-30 lead.
He's got four catches for 38 yards on the day, all of which have come in big moments.
