Interim coach Tom Cable doesn't think it's a coincidence that the Raiders have played two of their best games of the season since McFadden's return. After getting blown out in three straight losses to Baltimore, Atlanta and Carolina while McFadden sat out, Oakland played Miami close before losing 17-15, then upset the Broncos in Denver last week to end a four-game losing streak.

... of the best derivations on the hook-and-ladder in years with JaMarcus Russell, Ronald Curry and Darren McFadden moving that ball around like the Harlem Globetrotters – and forward, for a Chief-surprising 16 yards and a first down deep in the red zone.

Playing mainly as a fullback in his four years at Arkansas, Hillis was the lead blocker for Felix Jones and Darren McFadden.
