Fernando Mendoza was nothing short of spectacular for the Raiders, throwing for an eye-popping 507 yards and seven touchdowns, making it one of the best performances of the season. His favorite target, Dont'e Thornton Jr., was a force on the field, racking up 204 receiving yards and finding the end zone multiple times.
