Offensive Game Grades: Week 9 vs. Tampa Bay

Unfortunately, the 35 points scored by the Buccaneers in the second half ended up being too much to overcome [...]

Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen said on Monday that running back Darren McFadden suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay, but he had not been ruled out for this Sunday's game against Baltimore.
