New England Patriots defeat Oakland Raiders 30-20

The New England Patriots defeated the Oakland Raiders last night in Foxboro, in a 30-20 match that ended about as was expected. The Raiders had a nice opening drive, and Randy Moss had a joggled 73-yard touchdown pass, but they just could not bring everything together once the Patriots got on a roll. Oakland did a good job of stopping the run (especially early in the game) but they were ineffectual against Tom Brady‘s arm.
