Russell’s heroic effort, either QB Bruce Gradkowski (sprained knees) or Frye (concussion) will start if healthy. … Raiders are seeking first back-to-back wins of season. … Coach Tom Cable has put huge emphasis following up win with strong showing as Raiders have been outscored 119-23 after victories. … Cable is just 9-17 since replacing Lane Kiffin early in 2008 season and may need another win to save job. … Browns have won two in row for first time since Weeks 4 and 5 in 2008. … RB Jerome Harrison, barely a blip on radar earlier this season, rushed for 286 yards – third most in NFL history – last week at KC as Browns amassed 351 yards rushing. … That victory breathed new life into embattled coach Eric Mangini, who could use another two wins to impress Mike Holmgren, hired earlier this week as team president. … KR Josh Cribbs had two 100-yard kickoff returns for TDs last week, giving him league-record eight in career. … Combined all-purpose yardage for Harrison (298) and Cribbs (316) was most in league history, topping 550 for San Francisco’s Jerry Rice and Dexter Carter in 1995.
