In their final AFC West showdown at the Coliseum Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , the Raiders made it count against the Chargers on Thursday Night Football with a narrow 26-24 victory. It was easily the best performance of the season for the defense, and the Raiders mustered just enough offense when it mattered most to grab the victory. Who excelled, who underwhelmed and what’s next? Here are this week’s Sensations, Frustrations and Declarations:Sensations:Erik HarrisHarris played the best game of his football career tonight and practically willed the Raiders to a win on his own. Seriously, he probably never even had a game that good in Pop Warner.Harris was most certainly the sensation of the night, grabbing a pair of interceptions in the first quarter and nearly picking off five balls total on the night.He returned his first quarter interceptions for 59- and 56-yards, with the latter going for a touchdown that gave Oakland a 10-0 lead. Harris wasn’t fully trusted in this defense early on this season, but he sure as hell is now. Signed to just a $2.35 million deal for 2020, Harris is a candidate for a sizable offseason extension if his inspired play continues.Raiders pass rushThis one could go to Clelin Ferrell alone for having a true breakout performance, but the entire pass rush was sensational tonight.Sure, the Chargers offensive line has been lacking and was missing RT Sam Tevi and eventually LT Russell Okung during the game, but the pass rush was persistent and impactful all night. Along with Ferrell’s 2.5 sacks, Benson Mayowa stepped up for 1.5 sacks and Maurice Hurst and Maxx Crosby chipped in with a half sack each.Mayowa now has a career-high 7 sacks on the year despite playing less than half of defensive snaps in every game this season. He is making the most of his limited opportunities and has proven to be an underrated catalyst for the defense.Alec IngoldFULLBACK TIME! Let me preface this by saying that Alec Ingold is always a sensation. But tonight, he deserves some extra recognition. While he had two penalties early on in the game, he more than made amends.Ingold kept the Raider offense chugging with a key fourth-and-one conversion, before taking a Spider-2 Y-Banana for a 9-yard touchdown to give Oakland a 17-14 halftime advantage. The 23-year old undrafted rookie is carving out a name for himself at a position that is nearly extinct in the modern era, and he may even have put himself into Pro Bowl conversation with his showing tonight.Frustrations:Penalties. So many penalties.A whopping 12 penalties for 97 yards kept the Chargers in this game. Two interceptions were called back via penalty. The first on a Trayvon Mullen defensive pass interference call that negated a Karl Joseph interception, and the second on a Crosby offsides that waived off one of Harris’ potential picks.The Raiders defense was really trying to live in the Chargers backfield without paying any rent. They didn’t even consider chipping in for the utility bill, and in turn were called for an absurd four offside penalties. Even on the Chargers final gasp for air on the last drive, it seemed like the secondary was on the verge of being called for a penalty on every play.It didn’t prove costly in this one, but the lack of discipline will be a major factor in future contests as the Raiders march toward the AFC wildcard.Daniel Carlson’s missed extra pointIf Carlson’s missed extra point was the Raiders final undoing, he would never hear the end of it. Not for his entire career. That’s how Raider fans are. We don’t forget.Lucky enough for him, this abysmal moment will be overlooked unless the problem persists. As the SEC’s all-time leading scorer, you’d expect Carlson to be clutch. With the Raiders finding themselves in multiple fight-to-the-finish style brawls this season, he’ll almost assuredly need to find that clutch gene to win them a ballgame at some point over the final seven weeks.Inability to keep the defense off the fieldWhen your defense comes out and plays this inspired, you have got to help them out. String together some long drives, establish the run, control the clock, anything to keep the boys on the less glamorous end fresh. The Raiders basically did the opposite for the entire first half, settling for a quick field goal after the first interception before consecutive three-and-outs.Josh Jacobs had only 5 carries for 19 yards in the first half. After three quarters? Just 11 carries for 37 yards. Prior to the final 18-yard touchdown plunge, Jacobs had gone just 53 yards on 15 carries, with the offense unable to consistently move the ball on the ground for the first time in ages. Considering that the team’s ideal starting five up front was together all game for the first time all season Antonio Brown Jersey White , this was particularly perplexing.Late in the game, the Raiders took Jacobs off the field to create mismatches between Jalen Richard and the Chargers linebackers. They should consider playing Jacobs and Richard on the field more together, as it could give them an added dimension and offensive multiplicity if they occasionally use Richard as a flanker.Declarations:The Raiders will sneak into the AFC Wildcard as the 6-seedJosh Jacobs will win OROYBenson Mayowa will finish the season with over 10 sacks When the Raiders drafted Clelin Ferrell fourth overall out of Clemson, they got a three-down right defensive end who can set the edge, stop the run and rush the passer equally well.

He’s a guy you can stick at RDE and not worry about that position for the next five years at least. But the Raiders’ defensive end/edge rusher group was basically nonexistent by the end of last season, and someone has to man the left end position. Who does Oakland have that can step up into that role?Arden Key: The tall pass-rusher out of LSU was pressed into major duty last season after the trade of Khalil Mack, and he probably wasn’t quite ready for that. He’s the sort of guy Charles Barkley would refer to as “light in the ass”, meaning he didn’t have the frame or thickness necessary to deal with professional offensive tackles on a consistent basis. Key got plenty of pressures and hurries and QB hits, but only one sack. He’s probably best suited for situational pass-rush duty, and hopefully that’s where he ends up flourishing. Josh Mauro: Just about every one of Oakland’s initial free agency signings by Mike Mayock were known commodities who you could point to and say, “this guy will help the Raiders.” And then there was Josh Mauro, who everyone pointed to and said, “Who?”He’s been a rotational end for the past five seasons, and only has three sacks to his name. He excels at stopping the run, but really hasn’t had enough playing time to come into his own. That may change with the Raiders, so hopefully we will see what he can do, if anything. Since the team has issues with both run and pass defense, he can certainly be of some use even if he doesn’t play the whole game.Benson Mayowa: He served with the Raiders for two years as a rotational end, and then went to Dallas in 2016 where he had his best season as a pro. Mayowa had six sacks and eight TFL that year, and last year found himself in Arizona where he picked up another four sacks. He’s certainly a smart pickup for a team which needs pass rushing off the edge, but can he handle a full-time starting role? The fact that he’s only started 15 games in six seasons shows that no coaching staff has trusted him as a team cornerstone yet. Alex Barrett: Maybe you don’t remember, but the Raiders signed this guy out of the San Diego Fleet of the AAF after it shut down. He got two sacks in eight games with the Fleet. Who knows what the Raiders have in him, but he’ll probably get plenty of preseason playing time to show off to the coaching staff.Maxx Crosby: Mad Maxx was clearly drafted to be the left defensive end of the future, but will he get there this season? He has the physique of a frat boy trying to pick up chicks on San Pedro Island on Spring Break, but his talent is through the roof and Raiders brass have compared him to Ted Hendricks. His motor is terrific and he’s got tremendous tenacity, but he’ll have to keep getting bigger and stronger to earn more playing time.As of now, those are the options. I suspect it will be some combination of all these guys (at least the ones who make the final roster) because they weren’t signed for nothing. Each of them brings their own unique skillset and potential, and some of them have been straight-up overlooked. Now is their chance to shine and show why they deserve the chance to start opposite Clelin Ferrell.
