Oct. 23, 2016 EverBank Field
Jacksonville, FL

STAR OF THE GAME Raiders coach Jack Del Rio gets a victory in the first game he coaches at EverBank Field since being fired by the Jaguars late in the 2011 season. Under Del Rio, the Jaguars had a 69-71 record in nine seasons and advanced to the playoffs twice.

KEY STATS The Raiders (5-2) improve to 4-0 in road games this season, equaling the feat of the 2000 team. In two seasons under coach Jack Del Rio, the Raiders are 8-4 in away games but only 4-7 in home contests.

The Raiders' oft-criticzed defense has its strongest game of the season, allowing only one offensive touchdown and a season-low 344 total yards, and getting interceptions from Reggie Nelson and David Amerson. The Jaguars' Blake Bortles is 23 of 43 passing for 246 yards and a TD with a pick and a 58.9 rating.

Latavius Murray returns from a two-game injury absence and runs for two TDs and 59 yards. Murray has rushed for a score in four of five games he has been active this season.

The Jaguars (2-4) drop their third straight home game and fall to 14-40 in four seasons under coach Gus Bradley.

Punter Marquette King sets up Oakland's final TD when he runs out of punt formation after a fumbled snap for 27 yards on fourth-and-24 to the Jacksonville 38.

The teams combine for 24 penalties, with the Jaguars having 13 infractions for 112 yards and the Raiders 11 for 117.

THEY SAID IT "It is good to come back here and get a good effort in this stadium."
