KEY STATS:
THEY SAID IT:
Raiders DT Tommy Kelly
“Obviously we didn't score enough points, and that's unacceptable. I put that on my shoulders. It's my job to find ways to get us into the end zone. I didn't do a good enough job today.''
Raiders QB Carson Palmer
"We felt our tempo would be a key. We pressed that tempo and felt like we wore them down and just continued to pound the ball."
Dolphins RB Reggie Bush
"We haven't helped our offense out with field position. We need to take the ball away and create short fields. We can't go 80 yards on every drive.''
Raiders coach Dennis Allen
