The 26-10 loss to the Chiefs two months ago is a heavy weight on the Raiders.
Poe, you’ll remember, had a 1-yard touchdown run in that game.
“Yeah, they definitely surprised us with that one,” Raiders defensive tackle Dan Williams said before practice Tuesday.
A similar strategy Thursday night probably isn’t a bad idea, considering the Raiders were gashed for 212 yards by the Bills on Sunday.
The Raiders’ defense has been clutch all season; it hasn’t been scored upon in nine drives in the last five minutes of regulation or overtime when Oakland leads by eight or fewer points.
The Raiders have forced four punts, one fumble, a missed field goal and three turnovers on downs.
Donald Penn blamed a shoulder injury, Austin Howard his dress shoes and Murray said he was fouled when he missed an uncontested layup.
