Greg Jenkins returned the Terrance Williams fumble on the kickoff for a touchdown and then later on the Raiders returned the favor, as they fumbled deep in their own zone after a problem with Matt McGloin taking the ball from the center and after the turnover DeMarco Murray scored a touchdown on a two-yard run. McGloin has looked solid so far in the game and each team has now lost a fumble and the Raiders are getting a boost from having Darren McFadden playing and players like Rod Streater and Mychal Rivera will need to step up for Oakland.
Miles Austin has started off the game well and the Raiders did a good job keeping back Dez Bryant in the early goings of the game and and Raiders took the early lead in total yards.
