LAST WEEK
49ers: Lost to Dallas Cowboys 35-22. The defense, cornerback Nate Clements in particular, was torched by Terrell Owens for 213 receiving yards.
Bills: Defeated Kansas City 54-31. Behind former Stanford quarterback Trent Edwards, the Bills enjoyed their biggest point-total since 1992.

Where: Oakland Coliseum.
TV: Ch. 13. (subjected to blackout).
Radio: KHTK (1140 AM); KSFO (560 AM).

LAST WEEK
Raiders: Defeated Denver 31-10. Oakland's offense finally woke up after a 15-quarter snooze to embarrass the Broncos. JaMarcus Russell was not sacked.
Chiefs: Lost to Buffalo Bills 54-31. Never have the Chiefs taken such a beating as they did against the Bills. Linebacker Derrick Johnson called it "embarrassing."
Skinny: The last time the Raiders won consecutive games? Last season against the Chiefs (Week 12) and the Broncos (Week 13). Will 13 be a lucky number again?

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com
Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)
Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.
If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
