The Raiders (2-12) dropped their seventh straight game this Sunday and are still tied with Detroit for the worst record in the NFL. The Lions hold the tiebreaker currently, as they have a worse opponents' record, but that race is still very much in the air. If the Silver & Bla |

| (MySportsbook) - Though it came against the AFC doormat -- the NFL's? -- a shutout is still a shutout. And so the St. Louis Rams' 20-0 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday allows those who write about the team to try something novel this week: accentuate the positives. Head coach Scott Linehan may have said it best after the game. "It's hard to go on the road and win," he declared, "and it's hard to do it when you're somewhat struggling, so I'm very proud of the team in that regard." The Rams (6-8) tr |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -When Aaron Brooks signed with the Oakland Raiders, he was looking forward to teaming with Randy Moss and Jerry Porter in what he hoped would be a revival season. At his first minicamp, Brooks talked about how playing with a receiver like Moss would bring a ``smile'' to any quarterback's face. There's been little for Brooks to smile about this season and he admits he's thought ``what have I got into?'' He got hurt in the second game of the season as Oakland opened with back-to-bac |

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -Randy Moss missed his first game since joining the Oakland Raiders, sitting out Sunday's contest against the St. Louis Rams with a sprained ankle.

Doug Gabriel, claimed off waivers from New England earlier this week, also was active. Rams right guard Adam Timmerman also missed the game with three broken ribs, ending his streak of |
