I know it has become a running joke to claim that every game every week defines Taylor, But that win against the Raiders really was huge.
We were coming off the bye. If we lose our third in a row to a struggling Raider team (5-5 on 2 game losing streak) I don't have much hope for us getting the wheels back on the bus.
Instead we not only win, but we win big, We win on the road 2 time zones away. And we win against a direct competitor for a playoff spot in the AFC.
Before Thursday's game I really thought the Raiders were going to pull their usual swoon and finish without a winning record for the 5th straight year. So I did not consider it a HUGE win. But when I thought about how devastating a loss would have been it really was potentially a season saving victory.
