Carr caps rally with TD in wild finish

LAS VEGAS — Derek Carr threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Zay Jones after the Raiders squandered their first possession of overtime, beating the Ravens 33-27 on Monday night in the team’s first game with fans in Las Vegas.

Carr’s second touchdown pass came after Carl Nassib’s strip sack of Lamar Jackson at the Ravens’ 27-yard line. Nassib made big news this offseason when he became the first active NFL player to come out as gay.

The Raiders had thrown an interception after driving to the 1 on the opening possession of overtime and made another blunder with a delay of game before a field-goal try.

Coach Jon Gruden then sent the offense back on the field and Carr, who threw for 435 yards, hit Jones on the next play for the game-winner.

The Raiders trailed 14-0 early, ending a 98-game, regular-season win streak for the Ravens when leading by at least 14 points dating to 2004.

The overtime came after a wild back-and-forth fourth quarter that featured the Raiders rallying to tie the game on three separate occasions, with Carr driving Las Vegas to a tying 55-yard field goal in the final 37 seconds.

The Ravens had taken the lead when Jackson scrambled 28 yards to help set up Justin Tucker’s 47yard field goal.

The Raiders earlier got a forced fumble by Quinton Jefferson against Jackson to set up Josh Jacobs’ 15-yard touchdown run, tying the game at 17. The Ravens answered when former Raider Latavius Murray ran it in from eight yards one play after Jackson found Sammy Watkins on a mismatch for a 49-yard pass.

Carr then connected on a 37yard pass to Henry Ruggs III that set up a tying 10-yard touchdown to Darren Waller with 3:44 to play.
