Oakland Downs Rams in Pre-Season Opener

OAKLAND--Derek Carr took little time to build up his rapport with rookie receiver Amari Cooper.

Carr completed three passes to Cooper on an opening field goal drive, and the Oakland Raiders beat the St. Louis Rams 18-3 in their exhibition opener under new coach Jack Del Rio. The game was heard on 979XFM.

Nick Foles drove the Rams to a field goal on his first drive with the team, but left after the second drive. Foles completed his first two passes to Lance Kendricks and Tavon Austin for 61 yards before the offense stalled.

Todd Gurley sat out the game for the Rams.
