There may be a running back controversy in Sin City. Ameer Abdullah garnered just 62% of the Raiders’ snaps despite the absence of first-choice back Alexander Mattison. Instead, Abdullah found himself splitting time with rookie Sincere McCormick, who has broken out with two straight solid performances. Abdullah was poor against a strong Kansas City Chiefs […]
