At halftime in their AFC West showdown, the Las Vegas Raiders lead the Denver Broncos 19-16. The game was tied at 10-10 at one point before each team scored a touchdown in the final four minutes of half – and they both missed the extra point that followed. The Raiders then engineered a field goal drive at the last second to take the lead.
The Vegas touchdown came after a 68-yard fumble return from Amik Robertson, who picked the ball off the ground after Melvin Gordon fumbled it on his first carry of the game. Denver’s touchdown came courtesy of Jerry Jeudy, which Russell Wilson used to hit a nice seam ball shortly after finding Kendall Hinton for a big win against inflated cover.
The teams’ previous records were recorded by Josh Jacobs (12 carries for 58 yards, five receptions for 31 yards) and Courtland Sutton (four catches, 34 yards). The highly anticipated matchup between Davante Adams and Patrick Surtain II, with each player making a few moves while facing each other. Raiders wideout Mack Hollins also came close for a touchdown, but one of his feet landed out of bounds.
Can the Raiders get their first win of the season or will the Broncos make a comeback in the second half? We’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, stay tuned to our live blog for the rest of the afternoon as we update you with stats, results and highlights.
