The Raiders kept it close with the Colts and could have won. However, the Colts had 7 wins by 7 or less against 7 win or worse teams last season, so that’s not as impressive as it seems. The Colts just aren’t as good as they seem. Even the 2-14 Chiefs played them within a touchdown last season. The Raiders’ week 1 performance doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be the worst team in the NFL, as so many predicted. Terrelle Pryor was a weapon on the ground, with 112 rushing yards against a Colts defense that seemed unprepared for a running quarterback, but he didn’t move the ball through the air well, even against a weak Indianapolis secondary.
