Quarter 4:

Vincent Taylor got a sack on second down but the third and long was converted due to some poor tackling after a catch, the Raiders ended up punting anyway.

The offense started a drive with just over eight minutes to play, Tannehill ran for 18 yards making him the leading rusher. Then came a beautifully orchestrated play, Gore got the hand off, pitched it to Wilson, who then found Grant wide open down the right sideline. Wilson rolled out and passed it so well he looked like Tannehill.

The Raiders started a drive in which T. J. McDonald nearly had an interception that might have sealed the game. It ended after driving the field and attempting a pass in the end zone. Wake hit Carr as he threw it making it go slightly off target, Xavien Howard contorted his body and made an incredible interception in the end zone.

The offense had one more trick up their sleeve on this drive. A shuffle pass to Albert Wilson who went 74 yards for the TD.

This was a great game if you like plays called that are deeper in the playbook. And they were run very well. Also if you like red zone / goal line defense. A big drawback was so many injuries with one known to be lost for the season. William Hayes is a martyr and the first casualty that went out by following the NFL sack rule.
