Las Vegas Raiders Score Wild OT Win Over the Baltimore Ravens

NFL season just kicked off last week, but it already gave us an early candidate for the most epic game of the season. The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Baltimore Ravens in a wild OT game, and things were pretty unpredictable until the very last moment. The Raiders managed to score a 33-27 victory against the Ravens, after a mind-blowing back-and-forth sequence in overtime. It was an epic game that kept us on the edge of our seats, and the Raiders coach Jon Gruden felt the same way. "I felt like I died and woke up. And died again. I was like a cat: I had multiple lives tonight. I don't like playing like that. It was tough but, again, we did a lot of good things to win that football game tonight,” Gruden told ESPN. He also took a moment to praise the team’s quarterback Derek Carr for playing great under some "really tough circumstances". His 31-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Zay Jones in overtime ended up sealing the deal and helped the Raiders score the big win against the Ravens. The Raiders may have secured this victory, but they still have a lot left to prove. Their next game will see them going head to head with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, as the decades-long rivalry between the two teams continues.
