STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Matchup of coach Jack Del Rio's former (Jaguars) and current teams (Raiders). Del Rio spent nine seasons in Jacksonville, leading franchise to three winning seasons (2004, 2005, 2007) and two playoff appearances. ... Raiders looking for first 5-2 start since 2001. ... Can improve to 4-0 on road for first time since 2000. Won three games east of Mississippi River despite early morning starts. ''We make those suggestions to the league. They're mostly ignored,'' Del Rio said. ''But we would appreciate (a later game). ... It is a demanding schedule and so we're just going to do what we can to prepare our football team and come out there and compete our butts off.'' ... Raiders haven't won in Florida since beating Tampa Bay in 2008 and are 0-2 at EverBank Field, losing to Jags in 2007 and 2010. ... PK Sebastian Janikowski needs nine points to pass David Akers (1,721) for 11th on NFL's career scoring list. ... Raiders staying in Florida next week and practicing in Bradenton before playing Buccaneers. ... Jaguars looking for third consecutive victory. ... Jags have been among league's worst teams offensively, but hoping to move ball more consistently against league's worst defense. ... Pro Bowl WR Allen Robinson hasn't topped 75 yards receiving this season and has just two TDs. ... LB Paul Posluszny needs six tackles to pass Mike Peterson (837) for third on franchise's career list. ... Jaguars at home for first time since Sept. 25 and only time in seven-week stretch. ... Fantasy Tip: With Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey expected to shadow WR Amari Cooper, fellow Raiders WR Michael Crabtree could be better starting option Sunday.
