Raider Nation shouldn’t pound their chests in triumph, but let out a sigh of relief in a game that could’ve sent the team home with a 4-7 record.
The first half ended with very little fireworks, but the drama increased with the rainfall in the second half.
Oakland hung on to a slight lead over a hard-nosed defense and dominated time of possession throughout the contest. However, penalties and a wet football helped a late fourth-quarter surge for the Titans.
After Tennessee took the lead with approximately four minutes and 13 seconds left in the game, quarterback Derek Carr faced a 90-yard drive for a score. He marched the offense down the field, and Titans’ cornerback B.W. Webb committed a defensive holding penalty on fourth down to extend the drive.
Carr then capitalized with a touchdown pass to wide receiver Seth Roberts on a crisp route toward the end zone. Safety Nate Allen sealed the victory with an interception on the Titans’ final drive.
