THEY SAID IT
"Anytime you come out on the road and you turn the ball over three times, you're not going to win. You're not going to win anywhere."

Raiders' interim coach Tony Sparano

"You're not always going to win, and it's not always going to be pretty. But sometimes you have to win the game that way, and we were able to, and it took a total team effort."

Browns QB Brian Hoyer

“You could tell in the past three games, same result, but it’s a different team. We’re not the same team, it’s not just a flat feeling in the sideline. It’s not just a feeling of, ‘Oh here we go again.’ It’s a different mindset.”

Raiders QB Derek Carr
