Power Rankings Contend Oakland Raiders Are The Best Of The Worst This Season

A couple of lighter stories this week in the NFL made headlines for certain teams. A nice piece done by Jeff Legwold, Denver Broncos Reporter and member of Pro Football Hall of Fame Board of Selectors, entailed in a comedic tone of how Broncos Head Coach John Fox will be taking the bye week in stride and with no golfing. While during last year's bye week, Fox needed an aortic valve replaced when he fell ill while golfing in Charlotte, NC. An incident which left the Broncos without their mastermind for four weeks last season. Though, the best of the worst stories this week would have to be the Oakland Raiders and their silver lining through an already cloudy season. Just ask Bill Williamson, ESPN reporter for the Raiders.

After a hard fought loss to New England, power rankings via ESPN have Oakland as the best of the only three remaining win-less teams. Even better, in the hearts of hopeful Raiders fans, is that Oakland will be facing off against Miami Dolphins (1-2) whom are also off to a shaky start, going in the wrong direction after consecutive losses.

Raiders and Dolphins are set to do battle across the pond in London, UK at Wembley Stadium this Sunday. The match-up could make for a interesting and close scrap, as both teams are fighting to stay relevant in this season's playoff picture.
