Las Vegas Raiders
Well Las Vegas Raiders, the good news is that we won this matchup by almost three points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 12 weeks was 178.19. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Green Bay Packers
Your quarterback tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? We may need to have a little debate here. Was Nick Foles actually that inaccurate from the pocket, or was the Buccaneers secondary just that good defending the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make, Green Bay Packers, as you set your lineup for Week 14 and beyond!
