The Raiders lost to the Chargers in disappointing fashion on Monday Night Football, falling 20-9 in Pete Carroll and Geno Smith's first appearances in front of the home crowd. But the play of Las Vegas wasn't the only talking point on Monday night.
At one point during the contest the ESPN broadcast showed Tom Brady, a minority owner of the Raiders, sitting in the coach's box with a headset on and a tablet in front of him. It sparked quite a discussion about Brady's true role with the organization and the potential conflict with the information he gathers as a Fox broadcaster when preparing to call games. It also led to an intriguing report from the ESPN broadcast; Peter Schrager said offensive coordinator Chip Kelly told him he meets with Brady "two to three times a week" to go through film and the game plan.
