Mack Hollins Quiet In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Mack Hollins was basically invisible during the Week 16 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Now, both players are healthy, which […]

Adams has been held to […]

Josh Jacobs Struggles Against Steelers

He rushed 15 times for 44 yards, while adding one reception for six additional yards through the air. This was the first time in seven weeks that Jacobs has been held […]

Derek Carr Throws Three Interceptions
