The Raiders don’t have much of a margin of error offensively.

And they certainly can’t afford to give the ball away.

Quarterback Terrelle Pryor just threw an interception to kill his first drive, though it looked more like a punt.

Pryor rolled and threw a duck which was easily intercepted by Colts cornerback Greg Toler, a decision that would be described as dubious at best.

The Raiders were already down to their fourth option at left tackle, so it’s natural that Pryor might not be so secure. But bad turnovers will kill whatever slim chance they had.
