| (MySportsbook) - There is no need to speculate any longer, the Oakland Raiders will not go 0-16 this season. The Raiders started off the season with five straight losses, and many folks believed Art Shell's club had a chance to be the first team to go winless in a year since the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers went 0-14. Oakland smelled blood this week as the Arizona Cardinals rolled into town fresh off their stinging Monday Night loss to Chicago. The Raiders wasted no time in the victory, scoring the first 17 po |

| and the holiday season approaches, the only place getting warmer is Arizona. At least for Cardinals head coach Dennis Green. Green certainly is heading for the hot seat, if he isn't there already, after his club's 22-9 loss to the previously-winless Oakland Raiders dropped the Cardinals to 1-6 on the season. Arizona had now dropped six in a row since its season-opening win over the 49ers. Green shook things up last Tuesday when he dismissed offensive coordinator Keith Rowen before promoting quarterbacks coach |

| P) -Three years into Dennis Green's tenure as coach of the Arizona Cardinals, the team is off to its worst start in nine seasons. That's saying something for a franchise with one winning season since 1984. Sunday's loss to the previously winless Oakland Raiders was the Cardinals' sixth straight since a season-opening victory over San Francisco. With a 12-27 record at Arizona, a subdued Green said on Monday that his focus is simply on preparing the team for its next game - Sunday at Green Bay. ``I'm jus |

| Oakland, CA (MySportsbook) - Oakland Raiders quarterback Andrew Walter suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter of the team's 22-9 win over Arizona Sunday.

"Hopefully we're putting the bricks in place to build a foundation. We talked a little bit about that this week." Walter hurt his hamstring on a sack by Bertrand Berry. Walt |

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -Oakland Raiders quarterback Andrew Walter left Sunday's victory over Arizona in the third quarter with an injured hamstring, but pronounced himself healthy to return next week. Walter was hurt when he was sacked by Bertrand Berry, losing a fumble on the play. He briefly went to the locker room during the ensuing series for treatment. Walter, who passed for 263 yards and one touchdown, said he could have returned to action, but Marques Tuiasosopo finished out Oakland's 22-9 victory. |
