"The Raiders were under the impression that Sunday's game was against the Minnesota Vikings, 11 players per side.
By game's end, Raiders coach Hue Jackson felt as if his players were competing against 18 guys on most downs – 11 players and seven officials.
Not that it mattered much. The Raiders streaked to a 20-point lead, allowed two fourth-quarter touchdowns and needed a late defensive stand, yet won 27-21.
"We won the game because we aren't going to let it get to us, and we are going to continue to play through it," Jackson said.
Jackson said he intends to break from tradition and contact the league about what he termed "unfair" officiating in a game in which the Raiders were penalized 12 times for 117 yards.
The Raiders entered the game as the league's most-penalized team. That's beside the point, Jackson said."
