THEY SAID IT:
Raiders RB LaMont Jordan

"In the first half, offensively . . . oh, the whole game . . . we didn’t play football."
The Raiders' Jordan
"The Raiders were trying to get the ball downfield, and it allowed us time to get to Kerry Collins. We hit him early and we hit him often. That was the key."
