The Raiders played yet another close game on Sunday, but this time, Las Vegas came out on top.
Quarterback Derek Carr connected with wide receiver Davante Adams for a 35-yard touchdown three plays into overtime, and the Raiders beat the Broncos, 22-16. Las Vegas fell behind 10-0 but kept chipping away at Denver and QB Russell Wilson until the job was done.
Here are the winners and losers for the week as the Raiders won their first road game of the season and saw their record improve to 3-7.
Winner: QB Derek Carr and WR Davante Adams
It wasn’t a perfect game by any stretch for Carr and Adams. But unlike last week against the Colts, the pair scored a touchdown to win the game.
Adams had a costly unsportsmanlike penalty early in the third quarter, and he dropped a Carr pass late in regulation on what appeared to be the Raiders’ last chance on offense. Plus, Carr had trouble connecting with anyone besides Adams for much of the day.
But the Las Vegas defense gave Carr and co. another shot after Adams’ drop, and they drove for a game-tying field goal from kicker Daniel Carlson. The Raiders got the ball first in overtime and made quick work of the Broncos, scoring on a three-play drive. A 33-yard catch from tight end Foster Moreau set up Adams’ game-winning score.
Davante Adams. OT game winner. Enough said‼️

Carr ended up with 307 yards on 23-for-37 passing and two touchdowns. Adams tallied a whopping 141 yards on seven receptions and caught both of Carr’s scoring throws. With some speculating Carr could be out of Las Vegas after this season, it would be hard to break them up if they keep playing this well, especially if they win more ballgames.
Winner: RB Josh Jacobs
Running back Josh Jacobs had a big day on the ground and helped set up a lot of Carr’s big plays, which — just like Adams’ game-winner — came on play-action passes.
Jacobs finished with 109 yards on 24 carries and also had 51 receiving yards on three catches. His 43-yard reception set up Carlson’s game-tying field goal.
Josh Jacobs is the first #Raiders player with 100 Rush yds & 50 Rec yds since Rashad Jennings in Week 9 of 2013 vs the Eagles.
He’s the first Raiders player to do that on the road since Michael Bush in Week 10 of 2011 at the Chargers. H/T @ESPNStatsInfo— Paul Gutierrez (@PGutierrezESPN) November 21, 2022
