[Free] MNF-1st half

     Are you ready for some football?
     Tonight is the long awaited game between the Oakland Raiders and the Denver Broncos.  These teams are rivals in the AFC West division of the NFL.  Oakland is at a slight disadvantage heading into the game.  For starters, the game is being held is Denver, so the Broncos have the support of the crowd.  Also, the Raiders lost one of their best palyers, Nnamdi Asomugha, to free agency.  However, the Raiders have almost the same starting lineup as last season in which they went 8-8, whereas the Broncos were on 4-12.  The Raiders are one of my favorite teams and i believe that they will pull out a win and start their season off good...
...So far it's been an exciting game.  The first quarter is over and there has already been a couple notable plays.  The first one, unfortunately, was a fumble by Jacoby Ford, a Raider, which led to a field goal for the Broncos.  On the other hand,  a player for Oakland made made a play that is rarely seen in the NFL.  Darryl Blackstock blocked a punt!  This gave the Raiders great field position and an oppertunity to take the lead, or at least tie the game...
...TOUCHDOWN RAIDERS!!!  Three yard pass from Cambell to Reese and Sebastian Janikowski easily makes the extra point to give Oakland a four point lead.  Fumble by Denver and Oakland recovers!  The Raiders again have excellent field position and can further extend their lead.  Fourth down and raining, but Janikowski makes the 37 yard field goal.  Janikowski kicks a 63 yard field goal to end the half, the longest of his career in an actual game.  Oakland leads 16-3.  The Raiders seem to be in good position to take their first game and gain an early lead in the AFC West.
