"It was the first time in a long time that I had some jitters in pregame warmups. Once the game started, I was OK. I felt comfortable. I'm just trying to learn my teammates."
"The thing that jumped out at me here is we just continue to keep battling. A lot of things to be excited about, a lot of work to do still, but with the spirit of the team, I think we're in a place we need to be."
Raiders coach Tom Cable
