Raiders owner Al Davis did not attend Sunday’s game as he continues to recover from a knee injury, but team official John Herrera said the 79-year-old is doing fine. “I’m sure he’s doing a lot better after this,” his son Mark Davis said after the game. Davis was hospitalized briefly three weeks ago to get his knee drained after he fell during the trip to San Diego. As a result, doctors advised against him flying across the country for Sunday’s game. A team official said Davis hadn’t missed a Raiders game since his wife Carol had a heart attack in 1979.
