The #Raiders are trading QB Kirk Cousins to the #Vikings, reuniting him with coach Kevin OβConnell, per me, @MikeGarafolo and @AdamSchefter.
OTD in 1996, the Oilers move to 6-4 thanks to a 31-14 beatdown of the Saints at the Superdome.
Houston led in all categories in this game, from first downs to total yards to turnovers caused.
Chris Chandler threw for only 173 yards, but he also threw 3 touchdowns, to Chris Sanders, Ronnie Harmon and lineman Erik Norgard.
Eddie George led the rushing attack with 91 yards and a TD. Harmon had 108 yards on 7 catches to go with that touchdown, also adding 47 yards on the ground.
Blaine Bishop again led the defense with 11 tackles (9 solo), while Micheal Barrow added 7 tackles of his own (6 solo) to go with a sack and a fumble recovery off the fumble which resulted from his sack of Jim Everett.

OTD in 1977, with a healthy Dante Pastorini back in the lineup, the Oilers blank Walter Payton and the Bears 47-0 to even their record at 4-4 on the season.
The Oilers had 3 touchdowns of over 60 yards, 2 by Billy Johnson (61-yard run, 75-yard kickoff return) but the defense also did its part, limiting Chicago to 125 yards on offense (177 total yards minus 52 yards lost on 6 sacks).
Ken Burrough led the offense with 6 receptions for 180 yards and 2 touchdowns.
