Thursday night Season 17 opener is in the books! The Raiders, with new starting QB Jim Plunkett went to Candle Stick Park and defeated their cross-Bay division rivals, the 49ers, 27-10. Raider RB Mark Van Eeghen had a big night, having touchdown runs of 14, 30 and 27 yards. He also ran for three 2 point conversions and had a 66 yard kickoff return. 49er QB Joe Montana was sacked three times and was intercepted by DB Lester Hayes. As for Plunkett, he was one for one for 3 yards and ran once for 5 yards. The Raiders will face division rival Los Angeles at the Coliseum next. The 49ers will host the Browns next.

Your Van Eeghen is a beast!  🐎  Pictures? I enjoy seeing other coach's great players on the different grid irons. 

Enjoy the Journey   T43.  🏈♾️

Van Eeghen was the League MVP in Season 13. The Raiders went to the Super Bowl that season and lost to the Steelers. He was pretty amazing on Thursday night! He had 9 carries for 111 yards and 3 TDs. Pretty nice stat line.
