COIN TOSS: The captains are at midfield for the coin toss. The Raiders call tails — and it’s tails. Oakland will receive to start the game. Originally the ref said Denver won the toss, drawing complaints from Oakland before he apologized and changed the call. Pretty funny moment at midfield.

Q1 15:00: Matt Prater is ready for the kickoff as the Thundervision screen is showing Brian Dawkins on the sideline getting fans hyped. Prater’s kickoff is fielded 9 yards deep in the end zone before Jacoby Ford takes a knee for a touchback. The starters on defense include Kevin Vickerson, Jamal Williams and Justin Bannan on the line, Jason Hunter, D.J. Williams, Joe Mays and Mario Haggan at linebacker and Champ Bailey, Perrish Cox, Nate Jones and Renaldo Hill in the secondary.

Q1 14:50: Jason Campbell connects with Louis Murphy for a quick 9-yard gain on the first offensive play of the game. On second down, Darren McFadden takes a pitch but is stopped by D.J. Williams behind the line of scrimmage to bring up third-and-1. The defense is trying to get the crowd on its feet as Oakland jogs back up to the line of scrimmage. Campbell takes the snap and hands off to fullback Marcel Reece, who falls forward for the first down at the 31-yard line.

Q1 12:44: After a 5-yard pass to Zach Miller, Campbell’s pass intended for Murphy is incomplete and nearly picked off by Champ Bailey. On third-and-5, Oakland calls its first timeout of the half.
