Recap From Raiders 16-14 Win

The Las Vegas Raiders started their game against the Cleveland Browns looking like the very much healthier and more composed team.

Derek Carr started out accurately, completing his first nine passes, including his only touchdown to wide receiver Bryan Edwards.

The Raiders' offensive line also looked impressive, not allowing Carr to be constantly pressured and opening up enough holes in the running game to be effective.

It complemented a defense that in the first half was taking advantage of a COVID-19 stricken offense.

The Browns had only 84 yards of total offense in the first half, clearly impacted by having to go to third-string quarterback Nick Mullens.

The funny thing was, once the second half started, Mullens was the one who was able to make big throws to get his team back into the game.

The Raiders' defense started to get worn down, leading to Cleveland getting bigger gains in the running game with Nick Chubb.

The Raiders' offense, after operating efficiently in the first half, went completely dormant and could only manage a field goal before the final two minutes of the game.

The Browns would then take the lead, 14-13, late with a Mullens touchdown pass to tight end Harrison Bryant.

The Raiders had time after to make a drive, but Raiders QB Derek Carr threw a backbreaking interception that looked like would put the game away.

However, the Raiders defense stepped up when it mattered though, not allowing the Browns to get a first down and getting the ball back with 1:50 left.

Carr then made several clutch throws to get them in range for kicker Daniel Carlson to potentially walk off another game with a field goal.

Carlson would end up doing exactly that, nailing it from 48 yards to get the Raiders back to .500 and keep them alive in the AFC playoff race.

It was a gut-check game for sure, but the Raiders did what they had to do: find a way to win and give themselves a chance to fight for another week.
