The NFL lost an iconic figure in Al Davis this past week. But Davis’ Oakland Raiders honored their former owner’s memory with an emotional road win at Houston. The Raiders are starting to look more and more like a legitimate playoff team.

Even the defense is starting to come around. In the words of Al Davis, ‘Just win baby.’

The Browns have lost to the Bengals at home and won at Indy last Sunday.
