OAKLAND -- Two years ago, there would have been no doubt the Oakland Raiders, led by the Comeback Kid Derek Carr and a closer on defense in Khalil Mack, would have won this type of game.
After all, Carr authored seven comeback wins in 2016, when Oakland went 12-4.
But having blown halftime leads in starting out 0-3 in 2018, seeing Mack on a different team after being traded and facing an eight-point deficit with 88 seconds remaining in regulation and 53 yards of real estate in front of them with no timeouts left, yeah, doubt had crept into the Raiders' minds.
