It was a rough day at the office for the Raiders.The Vikings dominated in all areas of the game for a convincing 34-14 win.The Raiders were unable to get off to a quick start as they had in the previous two weeks and instead fell behind early and were trailing 21-0 with 11:06 remaining in the second quarter.Where the game took a turn for the worse was on the Vikings third possession late in the first quarter with the score still just 7-0. The Raiders defense had the Vikings backed up to their own 13-yard line Bo Jackson Jersey , facing a 3rd and 18.Kirk Cousins dropped back and dumped the ball off to Dalvin Cook on a screen play, Cook was ruled to have picked up the entire 18 yards, even though the replay showed he was just short, which would have held up on challenge to force a punt. But that challenge never came because Arden Key was flagged for a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty, giving the Vikings the first down anyway. It was a back breaker for the defense and that’s why it is the week three turning point play of the game.You could argue the call was questionable but the ball was clearly out of Cousins hand and Key shoves Cousins up by the shoulder and head area.Here is an isolated angle of Key on the play.The play was an absolute killer, the Vikings went from third and eighteen on their own 13 to first and ten on their 46 — a 33-yard gain.To make things worse three plays later, on third and two, Gareon Conley was flagged for a 15-yard face mask placing the ball at the Raiders 26. Two more first downs for the Vikings and Dalvin Cook scored from one yard out making the score 14-0 and that was all the points the Vikings would need. Derek Carr’s interception came on the next possession, the Vikings would add another touchdown and win going away.Follow @Egroat5 Ryan Switzer is entering his third season and already he has played for three teams. The receiver hopes he has found a home in Pittsburgh after a brief stop in Dallas and an even more brief stint in Oakland.The Cowboys drafted Switzer in the fourth round in 2017. Dallas used him primarily as a return specialist, with Switzer seeing only 92 offensive snaps and catching but six passes for 41 yards as a rookie.The Cowboys shipped him to Oakland before last offseason https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , reuniting him with special teams coach Rich Bisaccia. Switzer, though, lasted only four months with the Raiders before they dealt him to the Steelers the week of the final preseason game.Despite his late arrival to Pittsburgh, Switzer caught 36 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown, while also returning punts and kickoffs last season. “I didn’t surprise myself, but I am sure I surprised others,” Switzer said, via Teresa Varley of the team website. “There was a stigma that was created before I got here that I was just a return guy. It was hard for me because I spent four years in college doing so many things on the offensive side of the ball. A new environment can be good for everybody. To be around an organization that believed in me, a coaching staff that believed in me, and players that believed in me. That was the biggest thing. They allowed me to spread my wings Womens Derek Carr Jersey , be who I am.“I always knew how to play the receiver position. I think that got lost last year because of a stigma that was they put on me elsewhere as being just a return specialist guy. The Steelers who evaluated me coming out of the draft, they knew the production I had in college. For them to trust that, even though I wasn’t used like that in Dallas, meant a lot. made sure I knew that I wasn’t just here to be a return guy. Throughout the year I grew because of the guys that were around me, the guys I was able to watch. Then I grew because of Ben [Roethlisberger]. He took time with me individually to make sure I was on the same page with him. He took the time to make sure we knew about each other, learned about other, made sure I knew what he wanted, and he knew how I saw things.”With a full offseason with the Steelers, Switzer expects to produce even more in 2019.
