- Klint Kubiak on why the Raiders weren't able to get Michael Mayer as involved against the Patriots: "Just myself. I didn't give him enough opportunities. We gave him one early in the game that I think they had a penalty on. I think overall, that was a game of a lot of 7-man protections that he was involved on. But at the end of the day, it's my job to get all players involved. So when they are not involved, it falls on me." · Quoting Sam Warren: Interesting that Raiders TE Michael Mayer played a season-low 39 offensive snaps (65%) against the Patriots. Hadn't had a game this season playing under 80%, and his reps even went up when Brock Bowers came back. He also had just 1 target, a catch for 2 yards. Had 3 or more targets in every game this year and was coming off a career-high 10 against the Chiefs.
