The Raiders are off the schneid — finally.
It happened in an absolute dogfight of a game on Sunday, with the Raiders coming back from multiple deficits in a gritty win, that nearly ended in a tie. Oakland, however did a great job of managing the clock in overtime, picking up chunks of yards each play to find themselves in manageable down-and-distance situations. And it came down to a 38-yard field goal, which essentially was their final chance to win the game.
Still, it wasn’t a surefire kick, as it came down to new kicker Matthew McCrane, who the Raiders signed just five days ago. No problem, though, as he drained it, giving his team a dramatic 45-42 win.
Here was head coach Gruden’s reaction to getting his first win in his return to Oakland. He looks like he just graduated from Madden school.
