Oakland Raiders over Dallas Cowboys 31-10

With the first preseason game in the books, the Oakland Raiders now have their first test out of the way. Coming into this game several things had to be addressed. Would the Raiders be able to move the ball? Would the defense be able to hold up? Could the players limit penalties or foolish actions that have limited their ability to score in the past? After last night's game, the Raiders learned that while they can do much, they can also do much, much more. The first question, can we move the ball, was obvious. In the air game, JaMarcus Russell passed for 50 yards on six completions. On one drive, the Raiders were helped by a pass interference call, moving upfield by 47 yards. As the second team rolled in and players started were being replaced, the yardage continued to add up, with Bruce Gradkowski gaining 161 yards with a touchdown pass. Another QB later, and Charlie Frye was in the game and had 80 yards, another TD on seven out of 12 passes. Overall, Oakland had 291 yards pass...
