Raiders Tough Out Win
Daniel Carlson kicked a 48 yard field goal as time expired to give the Las Vegas Raiders a 16-14 win over the Browns in Cleveland on Monday.
The Raiders led Cleveland 13-7 late in the fourth quarter but the Browns took the lead at 14-13 with 3:45 to play. On the ensuing Raiders possession, quarterback Derek Carr threw an interception that seemingly sealed the win for the Browns. But the Raiders defense forced a three and out, giving Vegas the ball with under two minutes to play and giving Carr a chance to redeem himself.
Carr got the Raiders in position with some timely pass completions including a 15 yarder to Zay Jones that put the ball at the Cleveland 30 yard line, setting up Carlson’s game winning kick.
With the win the Raiders evened their record at 7-7 and kept their faint playoff hopes alive. Vegas will now return home to face the Broncos this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium at 1:25pm.
