The Oakland Raiders averaged 35.5 points per game through their first two contests and appeared poised to light the AFC on fire this season.
It may have been a mirage, however, as their offense completely disappeared during the first half of Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.
Derek Carr threw two indefensible interceptions during the opening two quarters, a far cry from the seamless poise in the pocket he's exhibited throughout his pro career. He wasn't helped by his receivers, however, with Amari Cooper particularly culpable for an open-field drop.
Jared Cook led the Raiders with one catch for a paltry nine yards.
The running game didn't fare much better, with Marshawn Lynch held to 13 yards on five carries.
A similarly suspect performance from the defense helped the Washington Redskins take a 14-0 lead at the half.
