The Las Vegas Raiders lost 17-15 to Washington on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
Newly signed kicker Brian Johnson nailed a 48 yard field goal with 37 seconds left in the game and Derek Carr’s last second heave bounced away from Zay Jones to seal the Raiders’ fate.
The loss dropped Vegas to 6-6 and it was Washington’s fourth win in a row.
The game was a defensive struggle throughout and the Raiders let a couple of nice opportunities slip away, especially when rookie safety Tre’von Moehrig let a potential game saving interception slip through his hands late in the fourth quarter. Washington kicked the game winning field goal three plays later.
The Raiders now have to go to Kansas City to take on the resurgent Chiefs this Sunday at 10am.
