The team finished the contest with two penalties for 22 yards, marking the team’s first preseason game with fewer than five penalties since Aug. 9, 2013 vs. Dallas (four penalties, 35 yards). Stout Defense, Clutch Offense After allowing an opening-drive Rams FG, the Raiders defense held St. Louis scoreless for the remainder of the game including three straight punts in the first half. The Raiders offense moved the chains when it counted, converting on 7-of-11 third downs (63.6 percent). As a result, P Marquette King was only called into action one time, in the fourth quarter. Carr Connects with Cooper and Crabtree WR Amari Cooper, the Raiders’ fourth-overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, hauled in three catches for 22 yards (7.3 avg.) in his first NFL appearance, all from QB Derek Carr, and had four total touches on the team’s first offensive possession. WR Michael Crabtree’s first reception as a Raider was an impressive catch-and-run for 15 yards and a first down. Crabtree added a second reception for no gain. Rushing Attack RB Latavius Murray got the start and turned in an impressive performance in the preseason opener, breaking off a 17-yard run in first quarter. Murray finished the contest as the team’s leading rusher with six carries for 35 yards (5.8 avg.).
