Not to mention his infamous “I play when I want to play” comment.

Nevertheless, plenty of fans wore his purple No. 84 jersey on Monday night, and still more donned his black No. 18.

“It makes me feel good to know that I’m still loved here, no matter what the bad blood that kind of built when I left,” Moss said. “I think that they, the people in the stands with the 84s on and whatnot, I think they understand now that I’m a Raider and there’s no coming back, and I don’t really want to come back.”

New Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin brought his version of the cover-2 defense from Tampa Bay, a scheme specifically geared toward stopping Moss’ specialty, the big play.

Brooks, still looking uncomfortable in silver and black, took one shot downfield to Moss in the first quarter, but Moss caught the ball out of bounds.

Signed as a free agent from New Orleans, Brooks is just 2-for-9 for 28 yards, one TD and one interception in Oakland’s first two preseason games.

“Obviously we’d like to have some more productivity out on the field, but it’s still preseason, and it’s a new system for pretty much all of us,” Brooks said. “It’s going to take time. I have patience.”

Sebastian Janikowski’s three field goals, including a 55-yarder in the first quarter, helped the Raiders overcome nine penalties.

The Raiders finally got into the end zone midway through the second quarter in Moss-like fashion. Andrew Walter hooked up with Johnnie Morant on a 67-yard touchdown pass for a 13-7 lead. Walter (10-for-19 for 148 yards and two interceptions) hit Morant in stride with a perfect pass down the left sideline.

Notes: Morant had five catches for 108 yards and the touchdown. ... Raiders WR Jerry Porter, who missed the opener with a calf injury, came out for warmups, but didn’t feel ready to go.
