Comebacks were the story of a wild Week 2 in the NFL. Unfortunately for Josh McDaniels and his Las Vegas Raiders, they were on the wrong side of a comeback. The Raiders lost to the Arizona Cardinals 29-23 in overtime, dropping them to 0-2. The Cardinals overcame a 20-0 deficit, outscoring the Raiders 23-3 in the second half.

“We got a lot of things we will be able to learn from,” McDaniels told Raiders media after the game. “We have to start learning and winning at the same time. That’s important for us, but we’re going to learn something from this as well.”

Dominique Robinson recovers fumble against Green Bay Packers

McKinley graduate Dominique Robinson didn't have the big numbers for the Bears he produced a week earlier in his NFL debut. The rookie defensive lineman, though, did help contribute one big play in Chicago's 27-10 loss at Green Bay on 'Sunday Night Football.'

Robinson, who played 31% of Chicago's defensive snaps, recovered a fumbled hand-off exchange between Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones. A week ago in a win over the 49ers, Robinson produced 1.5 sacks among his seven tackles in earning the second-highest rookie grade of 89.1%, according to Pro Football Focus.

“This is the NFL. Everybody has good players. We’re going to face that every week, and the young guys are in there for a reason,” Bears coach Matt Eberflus told the media Sunday night. “The experience they are getting right now is invaluable to our football team, so they are going to continue to play, and they are going to continue to get better and perform well. Tonight wasn’t the best night for some of these guys, but coaching players, we got to do a better job.”

Robinson is part of a trio of edge rush rushers that includes Pro Bowler Robert Quinn and Trevis Gipson. Quinn and Gipson combined for three sacks Sunday. Robinson showed some versatility to help create matchup issues by lining up inside on some plays.
