Week 15 of the NFL season kicked off with a stunning performance from the Raiders, who emerged from their scoreless game against the Vikings with an incredible vengeance. Outplaying their streak of non-performance, the Raiders recorded a franchise-high 63 points last night, turning tables in an astonishing display of football prowess, that left spectators in awe.
It was a game where Raiders' quarterback Aiden O'Connell, worked magic, sending touch-downs all across the field. In the first half alone, the wizard of the field threw four impeccable touchdowns, leaving the Raiders leading at an unassailable 42 to nothing. The original NFL record of three set by Tom Brady and the Patriots back in 2009, seemed to be a child's play.
The Raiders held their guard high and didn't let the pressure wane in the second half either, unleashing a clever element of surprise. Jacoby Myers took to the field, throwing to his fellow receiver Devontae Adams. Adding to their growing thunder, they slipped in two defensive touchdowns to win the game at an outstanding 63 to 21.
The Chargers were hence subjected to a devastating defeat and the most points they have ever conceded in their history. Responding to inquiries, their head coach, Brandon Staley was unable to confirm his position on the team moving forward. This comes in light of what has undeniably been an unpredictable and rough season for the Chargers.
In comparison, the Minnesota Vikings scraped through with three points in their recent game. Although not a match to the Raiders' run feast, it is, after all, greater than the zero they suffered in their previous meeting with the Vikings. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be trained on the Vikings, who will take to the field on Saturday with the hopes of escalating their performance.
In a nutshell, Week 15 of the NFL has indeed kicked off in high gear, with teams sweating it out to claim the crown. The Raiders' record-busting performance signaled a new chapter in their performance. As they amped up their game, the rest of the season remains an open book, with many more surprises and extraordinary performances to come.
