KEY STATS:
THEY SAID IT:
Raiders linebacker Aaron Curry
"Obviously, there’s no other team that can say they’re 13-0 right now and on the precipice of doing something great. But there’s still a lot left that we need to accomplish. If you really want to look into it, the regular season does mean a whole lot if you get to the playoffs. So we’re setting ourselves up nicely.”
Packers LB Clay Matthews
"Later in the year, you're supposed to be playing your best football, and it seems like we're doing the opposite."
Raiders DT Richard Seymour
