AFC West. 6-8. Oakland Raiders. 8. player. 28. <p>Amari Cooper became the Raiders’ first 1,000-yard receiver since Randy Moss pulled off the feat a decade ago in the 2005 season. However, Cooper’s stat line of six catches, 120 yards and two touchdowns were not enough for the Raiders to complete their second consecutive upset.</p> <p>Derek Carr has had a very solid sophomore campaign, but that first quarter pick six to Damarious Randall gave the Packers a tall 14-0 lead which the Raiders were never able to recoup. That one hurt.</p> <p>If the Raiders can emerge victorious in one of their two remaining games (San Diego, at Kansas City) then they will avoid double-digit losses in a season for the first time this decade.</p>
