Raiders Fall to Cards

Good try, good effort, no cigar though. That's what the Raiders did after a slow start to the preseason. Under Dennis Allen, the penalties continue to be a vast improvement as the Raiders were only penalized 4 times giving up 27 yards while the Cardinals had 10 giving up 103 yards. Carson Palmer was looked like he was in midseason form completing 13 of his 24 passes for 107 yards, but the Cardinals put up a better effort as they beat the Raiders 27-31 in the second preseason game. Lonyae Miller rushed for 54 yards, while Rod Streater continues to be a heavy sleeper among the camp bodies, leading the team with 7 receptions for 43 yards.

Final Score: *preseason @ Arizona 27-31 [L]
