KEY STATS:
THEY SAID IT:
Raiders coach Dennis Allen
“Things came apart in the third quarter (when Oakland was outscored 21-7). They kept scoring and we couldn't keep up. With all the penalties and mental errors we had, there's no way we're going to beat a playoff team on their field."
Raiders QB Carson Palmer

"We had too many mental errors on defense, gave up too many big plays, we turned the ball over too many times and we didn't execute on special teams. When you do those things, it generally results in something like that."
