Khalil Mack was unstoppable on Sunday, piling up five sacks in leading the Oakland Raiders to an upset 15-12 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday at Sports Authority Field.

Jon Condo's concussion and Travis Goethel's ineffectiveness have pressed the Raiders to find depth at long snapper. Former UMass long snapper Travis Tripucka tweeted he's headed to Oakland.

Backup long snapper is a job title no one wants. That's why it's unfair to blame the Oakland Raiders' Travis Goethel for Monday night's debacle. Instead, Gregg Rosenthal looks to the sideline.

If you told Travis Goethel he'd play a key role in the Oakland Raiders' season opener, he'd probably be thrilled. Unfortunately, it was the bad kind of "key role" for the linebacker-turned-long snapper.

The San Diego Chargers and Philip Rivers were the beneficiaries of the Oakland Raiders' sloppy play Monday night. Special teams coaches across America had to avert their gazes.

Many special-teamers have become household names, but some, like Bryan Braman, don't receive the recognition they deserve. Gil Brandt provides 10 unsung heroes of special teams.
