The Raiders certainly didn't roll over last week, as their decision to insert backup QB Jarrett Stidham into the starting lineup nearly sparked an unlikely win vs the 49ers. Stidham was excellent, as he shredded the league’s top rated defense per both DVOA, and EPA / Play. Too, Stidham was statistically better than former starter Derek Carr had been all season, and perhaps his presence/ familiarity with Josh McDaniels' system bolsters the Raiders' offense.
