Hoping to end their horrendous five-game skid, the Cardinals traveled to McAfee Coliseum to face the Oakland Raiders.  The Raiders came into the game at 0-5, the only winless team in the NFL.  This would be the Cardinals' first game under new offensive coordinator Mike Kruczek, who replaced the fired Keith Rowen in the wake of Arizona's meltdown in the fourth quarter of the game against Chicago. Arizona has visited Oakland only once before.  The Cardinals won 34-31 on an overtime field goal by Bill Gramatica on December 2, 2001.  The Raiders won the last meeting with the Cardinals, 41-20 at Sun Devil Stadium on November 24, 2002. In the first quarter, the Cards string of bad luck continued to haunt them, as Raiders RB ReShard Lee got a 1-yard TD run, while QB Andrew Walter threw a 32-yard TD pass to WR Randy Moss.  In the second quarter, both teams swapped field goals.  Oakland kicker Sebastian Janikowski got a 31-yard field goal, while Arizona kicker Neil Rackers nailed a 29-yard try.  In the third quarter, the Raiders continued to pour on the points, as Janikowski got a 35-yard field goal, while Defensive Tackle Terdell Sands tackles Cardinals RB Marcel Shipp at the goal line for a safety.  The only response Arizona could bring up was Rackers kicking a 45-yard field goal.  He would kick one more in the fourth quarter (38-yarder), but that would be all that the Cardinals could produce as they now dropped six-straight games.
