THEY SAID IT
"Hopefully there's many more to come because I like this feeling better than the other one, that's for sure. ”

Raiders QB Derek Carr

"When you line up and it's raining, the weather's no good and they can't throw the ball, you just line up and run the football. We weren't playing our gaps and it's like a high school football game."

Chiefs LB Tamba Hali
