Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor threw a bad pick early in the game, but he’s keeping the Raiders in a game they probably shouldn’t be in — with his legs.

Pryor just popped a 29-yard scramble, and has 98 yards on his first 10 carries, breaking a franchise record for rushing yards by a quarterback. At the moment, running back Darren McFadden has 13 carries for 39 yards.

The Colts are up 14-10 at the moment, and looked like they were going to cruise early. But the Raiders are hanging around, based on Pryor’s ability to keep plays alive.
