ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - A meeting with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots showed the Oakland Raiders how far they still need to go to be mentioned among the AFC's elite teams. A week after bullying the New York Jets in an emotional victory in the home opener, the Raiders were dealt a dose of reality in a 31-19 loss to the Patriots that exposed plenty of issues that still need to be addressed if Oakland wants to end a run of eight straight non-winning seasons. ``We're going to fix it, and we have just |

| New York, NY (MySportsbook) - Terrelle Pryor's five-game suspension has been upheld by the NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell notified the Oakland Raiders quarterback on Friday that his appeal to overturn the suspension was denied. In his decision, Goodell wrote it was fair to conclude Pryor "intentionally took steps to ensure that he would be declared ineligible for further college play and would be able to enter the NFL via the supplemental draft." The commissioner, who heard Pryor's appeal on September 15, |

The second round draft pick out of Penn State is also enjoying shifting defenders out of the way for running back Darren McFadden. When asked about blocking for McFadden, the NFL's leading rusher at 131.0 yards per game, Wisniewski couldn't hold back his fondness for doing so. "Yeah, it's fun," Wisniewski said. "Shoot, you block a guy for two seconds and you look, and [McFadden's |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) - Defense is Rex Ryan's pride and joy, so he was predictably angry when the New York Jets got run over by the Oakland Raiders last Sunday. The performance wasn't up to his lofty standards, and his coaching staff and players agree. The Jets are ranked 31st - second-to-last - against the run, a position in which Ryan says he has never been. Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine says the Jets' letdown last weekend was partly because of ``an effort thing'' and said some players were ``l |
