The field’s not great, but it’s not great for both teams.

Likewise, both the Dolphins and Raiders offenses are taking turns not doing much.

The Raiders opened the game with a long field goal drive for their 3-0 lead, but otherwise these two are off to a big of a slow start, with 122 yards between them after a quarter.

The Raiders have 6 yards on as many carries, with Marshawn Lynch averaging 0.5 yards per on his four tries. The Dolphins have 7 yards on four carries, the week after trading Jay Ajayi to the Eagles.

The sloppy field conditions could be a factor, but neither one of these offenses has looked cohesive so far.
