Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, the Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers clash at Lambeau Field in Green Bay in a preseason Week 3 match up. The game can be live streamed here. Oakland fans can hear all of the action on 95.7 The Game while Green Bay fans can do the same on WTMJ 620.
Oakland enters play with a 1-1 record after dropping a Week 1 preseason game to the Minnesota Vikings 10-6 and bouncing back last Friday with a 27-26 victory over the Detroit Lions. Green Bay comes into play with a 1-1 mark as well after losing 20-16 to the Tennessee Titans in Week 1 and then defeating the St. Louis Rams 21-7 last Saturday.
The Raiders enter 2014 on an 11-year playoff drought and made a lot of changes this offseason, bringing in Matt Schaub and then drafting Derek Carr under center.
Schaub had a sluggish campaign last season in Houston, going 219-for-358 (61.2 percent) for 2,310 yards with 10 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for the Texans. Rod Streater led Oakland receivers last season with 80 catches for 888 yards and four touchdowns.
Oakland brought in Maurice Jones-Drew to team up with Darren McFadden in hopes to reignite the rushing game. Jones-Drew had an up-and-down season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013, rushing the ball for 830 yards on 234 carries and reaching the end zone five times. McFadden had had 114 rushes for 379 yards and six scores.
Aaron Rodgers returns under center for the Packers after going 193-for-290 (66.5 percent) for 2,536 yards with 17 touchdowns and six picks last season after being limited to nine games due to injury.
Green Bay running back Eddie Lacy looks to build off of a great rookie campaign that saw him rush for 1,178 yards on 284 carries and score 11 touchdowns. Jordy Nelson led the Packers with 85 receptions for 1,314 yards last season while finding the end zone eight times.
The NFL preseason continues as the Packers host the Raiders tonight at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
