Randy Moss & his Oakland tenure

Steve Corkran, writing in the Oakland Tribune, revisits the two-year tenure of receiver Randy Moss with the Raiders.

Corkran recalled the time that the Raiders traded for Moss and No. 18 jerseys "flew off the shelves."

Yet Moss's time in Oakland resulted in seasons of 60 and 42 receptions, the lowest and third-lowest single-season production of his career. Certainly part of that was poor quarterback play, and injuries also were a factor. Moss's frustration was evident at times.

Naturally, Moss's return to Oakland for the first time is one of the top storylines of Sunday's game.

"Two of his down years in his career were here," Raiders receiver Ronald Curry said in the Oakland Tribune piece. "It didn't make his career. It might have made him a little hungrier. That may be one of the reasons why he is doing what he's doing now."
