But no, it’s different during Raider week, and Gruden’s staff just made brilliant adjustments.
What’s with these AFC West fans? On the Denver board, somebody called the Thursday night game our Super Bowl. Shit you not. More like the “We can beat you with a Mahomes tied behind our back” Bowl.
At this point, I’d be pissed off to lose a single game vs the AFC West.

Yeah, Andy's not a "run up the score" kind of coach. He's never been a Sean Payton kind of "let's rub your nose in it" guy. I think he literally does the math, figures out about how long it's going to take for a team to score three times or whatever, and then after the clock ticks below that time, he goes into cruise mode or whatever.
I don't really mind it that much; he's right most of the time and it saves wear and tear on the players. But I do wish he'd "stick the dagger in" with that extra score before he went into cruise mode. It would be better for my blood pressure anyway . . .
