Today at 1:00 p.m. ET the Oakland Raiders (3-6) will try to stem their slide after a promising start to the season, while the Houston Texans attempt to salvage something positive from their injury-riddled campaign. Watch the game on CBS or live stream it here. Raiders fans can listen to the game on 95.7 The Game, while Texans fans can hear the action on 100.3 The Bull.
The Texans are on the verge of losing their eighth straight game, but they could get a shot in the arm as head coach Gary Kubiak is expected to make his return to the sidelines after collapsing at halftime two weeks ago on Sunday Night Football.
"It just feels great to be back," Kubiak said. "You have a true appreciation for the opportunity that you have and the opportunity to be around the players ... and the chance to do my job again. I'm on kind of a different schedule -- kind of hard to adjust to, but I'm adjusting to it. I'm listening to (the doctors)."
Kubiak said being away from the team has been difficult, but not as hard as the losing. "I wasn't able to watch the whole thing," Kubiak said. "I watched parts of it. Very tough. I hurt with them. It was just hard to watch. It's hard to sit there and watch a football game when you've been there the whole time for the last 30 years."
For Oakland, there was optimism this year as quarterback Terrelle Pryor provided a spark with his playmaking ability. Last week, he tried to play injured though and hurt the team. This week, it's unclear whether he will be under center.
"If you're injured and can't help the football team, it's best that we have somebody else in there," coach Dennis Allen said. "When you watch the game, I didn't look at it and think it was really the limitation that held us back."
